Instructions:
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
- In a skillet over medium heat, brown the ground beef until fully cooked. Drain excess grease.
- Stir in the taco seasoning and water, then simmer for 2 to 3 minutes until thickened.
- Spread the crushed tortilla chips evenly in the prepared baking dish.
- Layer the black beans, corn, seasoned beef, and salsa evenly over the chips.
- Sprinkle the shredded cheeses evenly over the top.
- Bake uncovered for 30 to 35 minutes, until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Remove from the oven and allow the casserole to cool slightly.
- Top with shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, sour cream, and any additional toppings before serving.
Variations
- Use ground turkey or chicken instead of beef for a lighter option.
- Add diced green chiles or jalapeños for extra heat.
- Swap tortilla chips for cooked rice or crushed taco shells.
- Make it vegetarian by omitting the meat and adding extra beans.
Tips
- Lightly crush the chips to create even layers without turning them to crumbs.
- Add fresh toppings only after baking to keep them crisp.
- Let the casserole rest for a few minutes before serving so it sets slightly.
- Serve with extra salsa or hot sauce on the side for added flavor.
