Description

My Dad made this a lot when we were kids. Definitely a weeknight winner!

Ingredients

  • 1 pound Lean Ground Beef
  • 1 envelope Taco Seasoning, 1 Ounce Packet
  • 1 can Enchilada Sauce (10 Oz. Can)
  • 1 can Black Beans (15.5 Oz Can), Drained
  • 1 bag Tortilla Chips (13 Oz Can)
  • 4 cups Shredded Cheese (I Use 2 Cups Monterey Jack, 2 Cups Sharp Cheddar)

Preparation

Preheat oven to 350 F. Cook ground beef thoroughly in a large skillet over medium heat. Once browned, drain off the greast. Return it to the pan and add the taco seasoning and mix well. Add the enchilada sauce, mix, then add the beans and mix until everything is combined.

Crush about a third of the bag of tortilla chips (I just do it in my hands right over the pan) into the bottom of a greased 9×13 pan. Then, layer a third of the beef mixture on top, followed by a layer of cheese. Repeat this 2 more times, ending with cheese on top.

Bake for about 30 minutes or until golden brown and bubbly. Remove dish from oven and set it on a rack. Allow to cool for 5 minutes before cutting. Serve with sour cream, tomatoes, onion, chopped chives, guacamole or whatever you like with your tacos.

Adapted from my Dad’s recipe. He used pinto beans instead of black so use what you like. Photo by Elizabeth at Dishing up Delicious.

Just made this for dinner tonight and it was delicious! My very picky family loved it.

A few things:
1. This does not make enough for a 9×13 pan or 3 layers. I ended up using a 2.5 quart casserole dish and got 2 nice layers

2. It makes 8 small portions or 6 big portions.

3. I used reduced sodium taco seasoning and am glad I did! Between that, the enchilada sauce and the tortilla chips, this dish is quite salty.

4. I used a can of pinto beans and rinsed them before I added them to meat. I think Black Beans would be great but not everyone in my family likes them.

This recipe is a keeper!
