# Steps:
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, about 5 minutes.
03 - Add diced onion, 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 1 more minute. Remove from heat. If using beans, add now and warm through.
05 - Place 6 tortillas overlapping around the edges of the sheet pan, letting half of each hang over the side. Place 1 tortilla in the center to cover.
06 - Evenly spread the meat and vegetable mixture over the arranged tortillas. Sprinkle shredded cheese evenly on top.
07 - Place 1 tortilla in the center, then fold the overhanging tortillas inward to fully enclose the filling.
08 - Brush the top gently with melted butter or oil. Place another sheet pan on top and press down lightly.
09 - Bake for 15 minutes, then remove the top pan and bake an additional 5 minutes until golden and crisp.
10 - Allow to rest for 5 minutes before slicing into squares. Serve with desired toppings such as sour cream, salsa, guacamole, or chopped cilantro.
