If you’re looking for a recipe that’s anything BUT Mexican, you’ve come to the wrong place. Yes friends. Add this to the list of yet ANOTHER Mexican dish you need to whip up. SO flippin’ YUM!
LAYERED FIESTA TACO SALAD BAKE
1lb. ground beef
1 can spicy chili beans, undrained
1 can corn, drained
1 cup salsa {I used PACE}
1 pkg. Taco seasoning {I used McCormick’s}
2 cups crushed tortilla chips {I used Santita’s}
1/4 cup green onions, chopped
1 medium tomato, chopped
1 cup shredded cheese {I used colby & jack}
1 large avocado, peeled and cubed/sliced
Shredded lettuce
Coarsely crush two cups of tortilla chips and throw ‘em into a deep casserole dish.
Cook beef and drain. Return to large skillet and stir in beans, salsa, taco seasoning, and corn. Heat to boiling and stir often.
Remove meat mix from heat and layer over top of the tortilla chips.
Cut your veggies and start layering.
First add the tomatoes…
Cover with green onions…
And top it all off with a heaping load of cheese.
Bake at 350 for about 30 minutes or until cheese is hot and bubbly :)
Remove from oven and top with avocado, shredded lettuce, and any other fixin’s you’d like.
Now shove some tortilla chips alongside the edges of your baking dish to finish it off.
Serve and ENJOY…because I promise you will!!!
Oh this sounds so good. It is 10:00 and I want to go down and make this. I love all things Mexican so bring it on.
ReplyDeleteMy husband loved this and I made my own vegetarian version with black beans instead of beef. It was delicious!

ReplyDeleteI have made a recipe similar to this once before and the crushed chips on the bottom ended up soggy? Does that happen with this recipe? Also I was considering using Doritos instead of Tortilla chips, think that would work?
ReplyDeleteI made this about a year ago with doritos and was great! Tonight I'm using the tortilla chips. A bit soggy, but not bad at all. Everyone loves it so this is a keeper for me!
ReplyDeleteyum!
