Ingredients

• 1 pound ground beef
• 1 medium yellow onion, diced
• 1 packet taco seasoning mix
• 2/3 cup water
• 10 ounces canned diced tomatoes with green chilies (Rotel)
• 15 ounces canned black beans, drained and rinsed
• 1 cup frozen corn kernels
• 1 cup sour cream
• 2 cups shredded Mexican blend cheese
• 4 cups tortilla chips, crushed
• 3 tablespoons green onions, sliced
• 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped (optional)
• 0 as needed jalapeño slices (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with non-stick spray or a light coating of oil.

Step 2

In a large skillet over medium heat, brown the ground beef until fully cooked, breaking it into crumbles with a spatula. Drain any excess grease.

Step 3

Add the diced onion to the skillet and cook until softened, about 3-4 minutes.

Step 4

Stir in the taco seasoning mix and water, following the packet's instructions. Let the mixture simmer for about 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Step 5

Add the diced tomatoes with green chilies, black beans, and corn to the skillet. Stir everything together until well combined. Cook for an additional 3-4 minutes to heat through.

Step 6

In the prepared baking dish, spread half of the crushed tortilla chips in an even layer.

Step 7

Spoon the beef and vegetable mixture evenly over the layer of chips.

Step 8

Dollop sour cream over the beef mixture and spread it gently with a spatula.

Step 9

Sprinkle 1 cup of shredded cheese evenly over the sour cream layer.

Step 10

Add the remaining crushed tortilla chips in an even layer on top, followed by the remaining shredded cheese.

Step 11

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

Step 12

Remove from the oven and let the casserole cool for 5 minutes. Garnish with sliced green onions, chopped cilantro, and jalapeño slices if desired.

Step 13

Serve warm and enjoy your Taco Casserole Delight!
