Ingredients

• 1 lb ground beef
• 1 medium yellow onion
• 1 packet taco seasoning mix
• 2 cups enchilada sauce
• 1 can canned black beans
• 1 can sweet corn kernels (drained)
• 3 cups shredded Mexican cheese blend
• 12 oz nacho cheese-flavored Doritos
• 0.5 cup sour cream (optional, for serving)
• 2 tbsp sliced green onions (optional, for garnish)
• 2 tbsp chopped fresh cilantro (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9x13-inch casserole dish lightly with cooking spray or butter.

Step 2

In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until browned, breaking it into crumbles with a spatula. Drain off any excess grease.

Step 3

Add the chopped onion to the cooked beef and sauté for 3-4 minutes until soft and translucent.

Step 4

Stir in the taco seasoning mix and 1/4 cup of water, cooking for another 2-3 minutes until the beef is well coated and fragrant.

Step 5

Add the enchilada sauce, black beans, and corn to the skillet. Mix well and simmer on low heat for 5 minutes. Remove from heat.

Step 6

In the prepared casserole dish, spread a thin layer of the beef mixture on the bottom. Then, add a layer of crushed Doritos, followed by a layer of shredded Mexican cheese.

Step 7

Continue layering with the beef mixture, more crushed Doritos, and cheese until all the ingredients are used, ending with a generous layer of cheese on top.

Step 8

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

Step 9

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

Step 10

Let the casserole cool for 5 minutes before serving. Top with optional sour cream, sliced green onions, and chopped cilantro if desired.

Step 11

Serve warm and enjoy this comforting Tex-Mex casserole!
