Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 bag Doritos
- 1 cup shredded cheese
Supporting Ingredients:
- 1 packet taco seasoning
- 1 can diced tomatoes
- 1 can black beans
Garnish and Topping:
- 1 cup sour cream
- ½ cup green onions
Instructions
- Crush 1 bag of Doritos into coarse pieces, setting aside some for topping. Spread the crushed chips evenly across a 9×13 inch baking dish.
- Brown 1 pound ground beef in a skillet at medium-high heat for 7-8 minutes, breaking meat into small crumbles.
- Stir 1 packet of taco seasoning and ¾ cup water into the beef. Simmer for 3-4 minutes until sauce thickens.
- Combine 1 can diced tomatoes, 1 can drained black beans, and 1 cup sour cream with the seasoned beef mixture.
- Pour the entire beef mixture over the crushed Doritos, spreading it into an even layer.
- Sprinkle 1 cup shredded cheese across the entire surface, covering all areas completely.
- Bake at 350°F for 25-30 minutes until cheese melts and edges turn golden brown.
- Remove from oven and immediately scatter ½ cup chopped green onions across the top.
- Let casserole rest for 5 minutes before serving to allow layers to set.
Notes
- Crush Doritos into smaller pieces for a more even distribution of flavor and texture throughout the casserole.
- Drain canned black beans and diced tomatoes thoroughly to prevent excess liquid from making the dish soggy.
- For a lighter version, substitute ground turkey for beef and use low-fat sour cream and cheese.
- Prepare this dish ahead of time by assembling everything except the final cheese layer, then refrigerate and add cheese just before baking.
