Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 onion, chopped
- 1 ounce (1 packet) taco seasoning
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 14 ounces (1 can) black beans, rinsed and drained (optional)
- 10 ounces (1 can) cream of mushroom soup
- 11 ounces (1 can) Mexican corn or whole kernel corn, drained
- 4 ounces (1 can) chopped green chiles
- 8 ounces tortilla chips (or corn chips)
- 10 ounces (1 can) enchilada sauce
- 2 cups shredded Mexican cheese, cheddar cheese or your favorite cheese
- chopped green onions, for garnish (optional)
Here's how to make it:
- Cook the ground beef, onion and taco seasoning in a skillet until browned and cooked through, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and cook about 30 seconds. Add the soup, black beans, corn and chopped green chiles. Mix well. Remove from the heat. (To spice it up, add some fresh jalapenos or crushed red pepper flakes.)
- Spread half of the meat mixture on the bottom of a square baking dish. Top with half the chips, half the enchilada sauce and half the cheese. Repeat layers. (Instead of Mexican cheese blend, you can try this recipe with cheddar or another favorite cheese.)
- Bake in a preheated 350-degree F oven for about 20 minutes. Garnish with chopped green onions, if desired. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator and reheat in the microwave.
