Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).

Brown ground beef in a skillet over medium heat until cooked through, about 5-7 minutes.

Add taco seasoning and stir until well combined, cooking for an additional 2 minutes.

Spread black beans and corn evenly on a sheet pan.

Layer the cooked beef mixture over the beans and corn.

Add diced bell peppers and onion on top of the beef.

Arrange tortillas over the mixture, tucking them in as needed.

Sprinkle cheese generously over the tortillas and toppings.

Bake in the preheated oven until cheese is melted and bubbly, about 15-20 minutes.

Remove from oven and let cool for a few minutes.

Top with sour cream, cilantro, jalapeños, avocado, and a squeeze of lime before serving.
