Ingredients
1 lb lean ground beef
2 cups salsa (your choice of mild, medium, or hot)
1 (16 oz) can chili beans, drained
3 cups tortilla chips, crushed
2 cups sour cream
1 (2 oz) can sliced black olives, drained
½ cup chopped green onion
½ cup chopped fresh tomato
2 cups shredded Cheddar cheese
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
Brown the beef: In a skillet over medium heat, cook ground beef until browned. Drain excess fat. Stir in salsa and chili beans. Cook for 3–5 minutes.
Layer the casserole:
Spread crushed tortilla chips evenly in the bottom of the dish.
Spoon beef mixture on top.
Spread sour cream over the beef layer.
Sprinkle olives, green onions, tomatoes, and finally the cheese.
Bake: Place casserole in the oven and bake for 25–30 minutes, or until cheese is bubbly and golden.
Serve hot: Garnish with extra green onions or a squeeze of lime if desired.
