Ingredients

• 1 packet taco seasoning
• 1 can (15 ounces) black beans, drained and rinsed
• 1 can (15 ounces) corn, drained
• 1 can (10 ounces) diced tomatoes with green chilies (Rotel)
• 1 cup sour cream
• 2 cups shredded Mexican cheese blend
• 3 cups tortilla chips, slightly crushed
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 2 stalks green onions, chopped
• 0 N/A optional toppings (sliced jalapeños, diced avocado, fresh cilantro)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat.

Step 3

Add the ground beef or turkey to the skillet, breaking it up with a wooden spoon, and cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes. Drain any excess grease.

Step 4

Stir in the taco seasoning and 1/4 cup of water. Simmer for 2-3 minutes until the seasoning is evenly distributed and slightly thickened.

Step 5

In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked meat, black beans, corn, diced tomatoes with green chilies, and sour cream. Mix until well incorporated.

Step 6

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

Step 7

Pour the meat and bean mixture over the chips, spreading it out evenly.

Step 8

Top with the remaining crushed tortilla chips, then sprinkle the shredded Mexican cheese blend over the top.

Step 9

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

Step 10

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

Step 11

Garnish with chopped green onions and any optional toppings such as sliced jalapeños, diced avocado, or fresh cilantro.

Step 12

Serve warm and enjoy!
