This classic Mexican casserole recipe is a simple and satisfying dish perfect for a weeknight meal. Combining ground beef, salsa, beans, and cheese with crunchy tortilla chips, this casserole offers a delicious blend of textures and flavors.

Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) and prepare a 9×13 inch baking dish with cooking spray.

Brown one pound of lean ground beef in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Drain any excess grease.

Once the beef is cooked, add a jar of your favorite salsa. Reduce the heat and simmer for about 20 minutes, allowing the liquid to absorb and the flavors to meld.

Next, incorporate a can of chili beans into the beef and salsa mixture. Heat thoroughly. You can also add black beans or pinto beans for variation.

In the prepared baking dish, create a base layer of crushed tortilla chips. Spread the beef and bean mixture evenly over the chips.

Top the beef mixture with a layer of sour cream. Then, add sliced black olives, chopped green onions, and diced tomatoes for added flavor and visual appeal.

Finally, generously sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese over the entire casserole.

Bake for approximately 30 minutes, or until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and lightly browned.

Let the casserole cool slightly before serving. This dish pairs well with sides like cilantro-lime rice, guacamole, or a simple green salad.

For a spicier kick, consider adding diced jalapeños or a can of green chilies to the beef mixture. You can also customize this recipe by using ground turkey or chicken instead of beef. Enjoy!
