Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb Ground beef
- 1 medium Yellow onion, diced
- 3 Garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tbsp Taco seasoning
- 14.5 oz Diced tomatoes with green chilies (Rotel)
- 15 oz Black beans, drained and rinsed
- 1 cup Frozen corn, thawed
- 6 cups Tortilla chips
- 2 cups Shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 cup Shredded Monterey Jack cheese
- 0.5 cup Sour cream (optional, for topping)
- 0.25 cup Sliced jalapeños (optional, for topping)
- 2 tbsp Chopped fresh cilantro (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a large skillet over medium-high heat, add the ground beef and cook for 5-7 minutes, breaking it apart with a wooden spoon, until no longer pink. Drain excess grease, if necessary.
Add the diced onion and minced garlic to the skillet. Cook for 3-4 minutes until softened and fragrant.
Stir in the taco seasoning, diced tomatoes with green chilies, black beans, and corn. Cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, allowing the flavors to meld.
Lightly grease a 9x13-inch casserole dish. Layer 3 cups of tortilla chips evenly across the bottom of the dish.
Pour half of the beef mixture over the chips, spreading it evenly. Sprinkle 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese over the beef layer.
Repeat the layers: add the remaining 3 cups of tortilla chips, then the other half of the beef mixture, and top with the remaining cheeses (1 cup cheddar and 1 cup Monterey Jack).
Bake the casserole in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the cheese is fully melted and bubbling.
Remove from the oven and let cool for 5 minutes. Garnish with optional toppings such as sour cream, sliced jalapeños, and chopped cilantro before serving.
Serve warm and enjoy!
