A comforting, crowd-pleasing bake layered with spicy chili, crunchy tortilla chips, and gooey cheese, finished with cool sour cream and fresh green onions.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1 medium onion, diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 can (15 oz) tomato sauce
  • 1 can (15 oz) black beans, drained and rinsed
  • 2 tablespoons chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 4 cups sturdy tortilla chips
  • 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
  • 2 green onions, sliced
  • Sour cream, for topping

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a skillet over medium heat, brown the ground beef. Add diced onion and garlic, cooking until softened.
  3. Stir in tomato sauce, black beans, chili powder, cumin, salt, and pepper. Simmer for 10 minutes.
  4. Lightly grease a baking dish or oven-safe skillet.
  5. Layer tortilla chips, followed by chili, then shredded cheese. Repeat, ending with cheese on top.

Notes

  • Use thick tortilla chips to prevent sogginess.
  • Customize with corn, jalapeños, or extra beans.
  • Reheat in the oven for best texture.
