Ingredients

Base: 1 lb (450 g) ground beef; 1 small onion, finely chopped; 1 packet taco seasoning mix; ½ cup water
Layering: 3 cups tortilla chips, slightly crushed; 1 cup salsa; 1 cup sour cream; 1½ cups shredded cheese (cheddar or your choice)
Optional Toppings: chopped lettuce; diced tomatoes; sliced black olives; sliced jalapeños; fresh cilantro

Instructions

  • Cook the Ground Beef:
    Preheat oven to 180°C (350°F). In a large skillet, cook ground beef and onion over medium heat until beef is browned. Drain excess grease. Stir in taco seasoning and water; simmer for 3–5 minutes until thickened.

  • Assemble the Casserole:
    Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish. Spread crushed tortilla chips in the bottom. Layer with seasoned beef, salsa, sour cream, and shredded cheese in that order.

  • Bake:
    Bake for 20–25 minutes until cheese is melted and bubbly.

 

  • Top and Serve:
    Let cool slightly. Top with desired toppings like lettuce, tomatoes, olives, jalapeños, and cilantro. Serve warm with extra chips if desired.

Notes

  • For extra spice, use hot salsa or add chopped jalapeños directly into the beef layer.

  • This dish reheats well—store leftovers covered in the fridge for up to 3 days.

 

  • Try substituting ground turkey or beans for a lighter or vegetarian option.
