Ingredients

• 1 pound ground beef
• 1 medium onion, diced
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 tablespoons taco seasoning mix
• 1 cup canned black beans, rinsed and drained
• 1 cup canned corn, drained
• 1 14-ounce can canned diced tomatoes with green chilies (such as Rotel)
• 1 cup salsa
• 4 cups tortilla chips, crushed
• 2 cups shredded Mexican blend cheese
• 1 cup sour cream
• 1 large avocado, diced
• 0.25 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
• 1 whole lime, cut into wedges

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 9x13-inch casserole dish.

Step 2

In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until browned, breaking it apart with a spatula, about 5-7 minutes. Drain excess grease if needed.

Step 3

Add the diced onion and minced garlic to the skillet with the beef. Cook for an additional 3-4 minutes until the onion is softened and fragrant.

Step 4

Stir in the taco seasoning mix, canned black beans, canned corn, and diced tomatoes with green chilies. Let the mixture cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until everything is well combined and heated through.

Step 5

Layer 2 cups of crushed tortilla chips evenly on the bottom of the prepared casserole dish.

Step 6

Spread the beef mixture over the chips, then top with the salsa, spreading it evenly.

Step 7

Sprinkle 1 cup of shredded cheese over the salsa layer. Repeat the layers: another 2 cups of crushed tortilla chips, the remaining beef mixture, and another cup of shredded cheese on top.

Step 8

Cover the casserole with aluminum foil and bake for 20 minutes. Then remove the foil and bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbling.

Step 9

Remove the casserole from the oven and let it cool for 5 minutes. Top with dollops of sour cream, diced avocado, and fresh cilantro.

Step 10

Serve warm with lime wedges on the side for an extra squeeze of brightness. Enjoy your Global Gourmet Taco Casserole!
