Ingredients

• 1 pound Ground beef
• 1 packet Taco seasoning
• 0.25 cup Water
• 1 can (15 ounces) Black beans, drained and rinsed
• 1 can (15 ounces) Corn, drained
• 4 cups Tortilla chips, slightly crushed
• 2 cups Shredded cheddar cheese
• 1 cup Shredded Monterey Jack cheese
• 1 can (10 ounces) Diced tomatoes and green chilies (e.g., Rotel)
• 1 cup Sour cream
• 3 stalks Green onions, chopped
• 0.25 cup Cilantro, chopped (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish lightly with cooking spray and set aside.

Step 2

In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until browned and crumbled, about 5-7 minutes. Drain excess grease, if necessary.

Step 3

Add the taco seasoning and 1/4 cup water to the cooked ground beef. Stir to combine and let simmer for 2-3 minutes until the seasoning is fully incorporated.

Step 4

Stir in the black beans, corn, and diced tomatoes with green chilies. Cook for an additional 2 minutes to heat through, then remove from heat.

Step 5

Spread an even layer of the slightly crushed tortilla chips across the bottom of the prepared baking dish.

Step 6

Layer half of the beef mixture over the tortilla chips, followed by half of the shredded cheddar and Monterey Jack cheeses. Repeat with another layer of tortilla chips, beef mixture, and the remaining cheeses.

Step 7

Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes.

Step 8

Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden brown.

Step 9

Remove the casserole from the oven and let it cool for 5 minutes. Spread the sour cream evenly over the top of the casserole.

Step 10

Garnish with chopped green onions and cilantro, if desired. Serve warm and enjoy!
