Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
  2. In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add onion and saute for 5 minutes. Add in garlic, ground beef and taco seasoning. Cook and crumble beef until it’s browned. Stir in black beans and salsa. Cook another 5 minutes or until heated through.
  3. In a 9×13 baking dish, lay tortilla chips on the bottom. Gently press down on them to break them into bite-size pieces. Pour cooked meat mixture evenly over the top. Sprinkle evenly with shredded cheddar cheese. Bake, uncovered for 15-20 minutes, or until cheese is melted and bubbly. Remove from oven, and let stand 5 minutes before slicing.
