# How to Make It:
01 - Preheat oven to 400°F. Grease a large rimmed sheet pan (17x12 inches) with nonstick spray or oil.
02 - Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add ground meat and cook, breaking up with a spoon, until browned and nearly cooked through, approximately 5 minutes.
03 - Add diced onion, red bell pepper, corn, and jalapeño to the skillet. Sauté for 3 to 4 minutes until vegetables soften.
04 - Stir in minced garlic, ground cumin, smoked paprika, chili powder, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper. Cook for an additional minute, then remove from heat. For vegetarian version, add beans now and warm through.
05 - Place six tortillas overlapping around the edges of the sheet pan, allowing half of each to hang over the sides, then position one tortilla in the center.
06 - Spread the meat and vegetable mixture evenly over the tortillas, then sprinkle shredded cheese over the filling.
07 - Place one more tortilla in the center, then fold the overhanging tortillas over the filling to fully enclose it.
08 - Brush the top layer with melted butter or oil. Place another sheet pan on top and press gently to compress.
09 - Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes. Remove the top pan and continue baking for an additional 5 minutes or until golden and crisp.
10 - Allow to rest for 5 minutes before slicing into squares. Serve with preferred toppings.
