Ingredients

• 8 cups Tortilla chips
• 1 pound Ground beef
• 1 packet Taco seasoning
• 0.25 cup Water
• 1 cup Black beans, rinsed and drained
• 1 cup Corn kernels (canned or frozen, thawed)
• 2 cups Shredded cheddar cheese
• 1 cup Shredded Monterey Jack cheese
• 0.5 cup Sour cream
• 0.5 cup Salsa
• 1 cup Diced tomatoes
• 0.5 cup Sliced black olives
• 0.33 cup Diced green onions
• 0.25 cup Fresh cilantro (optional, chopped)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

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

Step 3

Add the taco seasoning and water to the cooked beef. Stir until the meat is evenly coated and simmer for 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat.

Step 4

Lightly grease a 9x13-inch casserole dish. Spread half of the tortilla chips evenly across the bottom of the dish.

Step 5

Layer half of the cooked beef mixture over the tortilla chips, followed by half of the black beans, corn, shredded cheddar cheese, and Monterey Jack cheese.

Step 6

Repeat with a second layer: the remaining chips, beef, black beans, corn, and cheeses.

Step 7

Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Step 8

Remove the dish from the oven and let it cool for 5 minutes.

Step 9

Top the nacho bake with sour cream, salsa, diced tomatoes, black olives, green onions, and chopped cilantro, if using.

Step 10

Serve immediately and enjoy!
