Description
Crunchy tortilla chips mingle with seasoned beef, black beans, and diced chilies, all crowned by bubbling cheddar. A dollop of sour cream and fresh green onions add cool, crisp contrast in every bite.
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 packet taco seasoning mix
- 10 ounce can diced tomatoes and green chilies
- 15 ounce can black beans drained and rinsed
- 4 cups crushed tortilla chips
- 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- 0.25 cup sliced black olives
- 0.25 cup chopped green onions
- 0.5 cup sour cream
- 0.5 cup salsa
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F and grease a 9×13 inch baking dish.
- In a skillet over medium heat, brown the ground beef until no longer pink, then drain excess fat.
- Stir in the taco seasoning mix, diced tomatoes with their juices, and black beans; simmer for 3–4 minutes.
- Spread half of the crushed tortilla chips in the prepared baking dish, pour the beef mixture evenly over the chips, then top with remaining chips.
- Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese and sliced black olives over the top.
- Bake for 15–20 minutes until the cheese is melted and the casserole is bubbly.
- Remove from the oven and let rest for 5 minutes, then dollop with sour cream, spoon on salsa, and garnish with chopped green onions before serving.
Notes
- Serve immediately for the best crunch from the chips
- Customize toppings with jalapeños, cilantro, or avocado slices
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days
- For a vegetarian version, substitute ground beef with cooked lentils or shredded jackfruit
