Ingredients

• 1 lb ground beef
• 1 medium yellow onion, diced
• 3 garlic cloves, minced
• 15 oz canned black beans, drained and rinsed
• 15 oz canned corn, drained
• 10 oz canned diced tomatoes with green chilies
• 2 tbsp taco seasoning
• 1 cup sour cream
• 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
• 3 cups tortilla chips, slightly crushed
• 2 tbsp cilantro, chopped (optional for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

In a large skillet over medium-high heat, cook the ground beef until browned and fully cooked, about 5-7 minutes. Drain any excess fat.

Step 3

Add the diced onion and minced garlic to the skillet. Cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the onion softens and becomes translucent.

Step 4

Stir in the black beans, corn, diced tomatoes with green chilies, and taco seasoning. Mix well and let it simmer for 3 minutes to combine the flavors.

Step 5

Remove the skillet from heat and stir in the sour cream until evenly combined.

Step 6

Spread a layer of the crushed tortilla chips evenly across the bottom of the prepared baking dish.

Step 7

Pour the beef mixture over the tortilla chips, spreading it out evenly.

Step 8

Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the top of the beef mixture, ensuring it is fully covered.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Step 10

Remove from the oven and let it cool for 5 minutes. Garnish with chopped cilantro, if desired, and serve warm.
