4. Drain off any fat and return to heat.

5. Add chopped jalapenos, diced tomatoes, black beans, and taco seasoning, and cook for 5 more minutes.

6. For each pan, arrange 3 corn tortillas to form the bottom layer (cutting to fit if necessary).

7. Top each tortilla layer with 1/4 of the turkey mixture.

8. Add 1/2 cup of sour cream to each pan, spreading over the turkey mixture with a spatula.

9. Top each with another tortilla layer, then the remaining turkey mixture.
