🥘 Ingredients

11 items

• 1 pound ground beef
• 1 yellow onion, diced
• 1 packet taco seasoning mix
• 2/3 cup water
• 1 can canned diced tomatoes with green chilies (e.g., Rotel)
• 1 can canned black beans, drained and rinsed
• 6 cups tortilla chips
• 2 cups shredded Mexican-blend cheese
• 1 cup sour cream (for serving)
• 2 sliced green onions (for garnish)
• 2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro (optional, for garnish)

📝 Instructions

10 steps

1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

2. In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until browned, breaking it apart with a wooden spoon as it cooks. Drain any excess fat.

3. Add the diced onion to the skillet and cook for 4-5 minutes, or until softened.

4. Stir in the taco seasoning mix and water, following the seasoning packet directions. Allow the mixture to simmer for 2-3 minutes until thickened.

5. Mix in the canned diced tomatoes with green chilies and black beans. Cook for another 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat.

6. In a 9x13-inch baking dish, spread an even layer of tortilla chips to cover the bottom. Spoon half of the beef mixture over the chips, then sprinkle 1 cup of shredded cheese on top.

7. Add another layer of tortilla chips, the remaining beef mixture, and finish with the remaining 1 cup of shredded cheese.

8. Bake the casserole in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbling.

9. Remove from the oven and let it cool slightly for about 5 minutes.

10. Serve warm with a dollop of sour cream on each portion. Garnish with sliced green onions and fresh cilantro, if desired.
