Ingredients
1.5 lbs lean ground beef
1 small yellow onion, diced
1 packet (1 oz) taco seasoning mix
3/4 cup water
1 can (15 oz) black beans, rinsed and drained
1 can (14.5 oz) diced tomatoes with green chilies, undrained
2 cups crushed tortilla chips
2 cups Mexican blend or cheddar cheese, shredded
1/2 cup sour cream
Fresh cilantro and sliced jalapeños for garnish
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375F and prepare a 9×13 inch baking dish by greasing it.
Brown the ground beef with the diced onion in a skillet over medium high heat, then drain any extra fat.
Stir in the taco seasoning and water, then let it simmer for about 3 minutes until it has thickened.
Gently mix in the rinsed black beans and the undrained diced tomatoes with green chilies.
Sprinkle half of the crushed tortilla chips into the bottom of your baking dish, then spoon the beef mixture over them and top with 1 cup of the shredded cheese.
Add the rest of the tortilla chips and the remaining 1 cup of cheese on top.
Bake uncovered for 20 minutes until the cheese is beautifully melted and bubbly.
Finish with dollops of sour cream, fresh cilantro, and sliced jalapeos before serving.
