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)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

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.

Step 3

Add the diced onion and minced garlic to the skillet. Cook for 3-4 minutes until softened and fragrant.

Step 4

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.

Step 5

Lightly grease a 9x13-inch casserole dish. Layer 3 cups of tortilla chips evenly across the bottom of the dish.

Step 6

Pour half of the beef mixture over the chips, spreading it evenly. Sprinkle 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese over the beef layer.

Step 7

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).

Step 8

Bake the casserole in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the cheese is fully melted and bubbling.

Step 9

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.

Step 10

Serve warm and enjoy!
