Start by preheating the oven to 375 degrees F. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and cook until soft and translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and stir to combine. Cook for about 30 seconds.
Add the ground beef and cook, breaking apart as it cooks, until completely cooked through. Season with salt and pepper. Then, add the packet of taco seasoning and stir to combine and coat the beef.
Add ¾ of the black beans (reserve ¼ for topping), 1 ½ cups of the chopped tomatoes (reserve ½ cup for topping), and the corn. Stir to combine then remove from the heat.
Slice 9 of the tortillas in half then start to assemble the casserole.
Spread a small amount of the meat mixture on the bottom of a 9×13 baking dish. Top with a layer of tortillas; use 6 half tortillas to line the perimeter and place 2 round/uncut tortilla in the center.
Sprinkle 1/3 of the Monterey jack and cheddar cheese over the tortillas, then add 1/3 of the meat mixture. Repeat with another layer: tortillas, cheese, then meat. The 3rd and final layer should be tortillas, then the remaining meat mixture.
Top with crushed corn chips then sprinkle on the remaining cheese. Add the reserved black beans on top.
Bake for 20-25 minutes or until the cheese is melted and the casserole is warmed through. Sprinkle the remaining cherry tomatoes over the top and garnish with green onions.
Serve warm with sour cream. Enjoy!
