Everyone calls it ‘Fiesta in a Pan’ – because every bite feels like a mini celebration!

Instructions:

  1. Preheat Oven & Brown Beef: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a large skillet, cook the ground beef over medium heat until it is browned. Drain any excess fat from the skillet.
  2. Season Beef Mixture: Add the taco seasoning packet and salsa to the browned beef, stirring to combine. Let the mixture simmer for a few minutes until it thickens slightly.
  3. Combine Beef, Beans, and Corn: In a large mixing bowl, combine the seasoned beef mixture with the drained and rinsed black beans and frozen corn. Stir well to combine.
  4. Layer the Casserole:
    • Spread half of the crushed tortilla chips evenly in the bottom of a 9×13-inch baking dish.
    • Layer the beef, black bean, and corn mixture evenly over the chips.
    • Sprinkle with half of the shredded cheddar cheese.
    • Add the remaining crushed tortilla chips on top of the cheese layer, followed by the rest of the shredded cheddar cheese.
    • Sprinkle the sliced black olives and chopped green onions over the very top of the casserole.
  5. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the cheese is completely melted and bubbly, and the casserole is heated through.
  6. Cool & Garnish: Remove from the oven and let it cool slightly before serving. Garnish with chopped fresh cilantro, if desired.
