Ingredients
Scale:
1 pound ground beef
1 small onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 packet taco seasoning (about 1 ounce)
1 cup diced tomatoes (with juice)
1 can black beans, drained and rinsed (optional)
6 cups Doritos, crushed (about 8 ounces)
2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
1 cup sour cream
1 cup salsa
2 green onions, sliced (for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a large skillet over medium heat, brown the ground beef. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic, cooking until the onion is softened.
Stir in the taco seasoning and diced tomatoes. If using, add the black beans and let it simmer for 5 minutes.
In a 9x13 inch baking dish, spread half of the crushed Doritos evenly on the bottom. Layer the beef mixture over the Doritos, followed by half of the shredded cheese.
Spread the sour cream over the cheese layer, then pour the salsa on top.
Top with the remaining crushed Doritos and then sprinkle the remaining cheese over the top.
Place the casserole in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes. Garnish with sliced green onions before serving.
