Ingredients

  • yellow onion

    diced

    1 large
  • ground beef
    1 lb
  • taco seasoning
    3 tbsp
  • can diced tomatoes
    1
  • can black beans

    drained

    1
  • can corn

    drained

    1
  • bag of tortilla chips
    1
  • shredded cheddar cheese
    2 c

Directions

  1. 1

    Preheat oven to 350 F.

  2. 2

    Heat a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the diced onions and sweat down until almost soft and slightly golden (about 5-7 minutes), stirring occasionally.

  3. 3

    Once onions are soft, add the beef and taco seasoning to the skillet. Using a spatula or wooden spoon, break up the ground beef and toss to combine. Cook for about 4-5 minutes, or until beef is almost cooked through.

  4. 4

    Add the tomato with its liquid, along with the drained black beans and corn. Increase the heat, toss to combine, and cook down for around 5-6 minutes or until some liquid has evaporated. Remove the skillet from the heat.

  5. 5

    To assemble the taco bake, use your hands to crush up about 1 cup of chips to cover the bottom of the 9x12-inch glass baking dish. Layer half of the beef mixture on top of the chips then cover with 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese. Repeat this process.

  6. 6

    Bake for 15-20 minutes or until the cheese has melted.

  7. 7

    Let the taco bake cool for 10 minutes, then serve with desired toppings, such as sliced avocado, sour cream, chopped cilantro, and extra tortilla chips.
