Ingredients
Ground Beef or Ground Turkey: A flavorful base for the casserole, providing a hearty texture and absorbing seasonings well.
Homemade Taco Seasoning: A blend of chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper to create a classic taco flavor.
Diced Tomatoes with Green Chilies: Adds a tangy and mildly spicy kick, enhancing the overall flavor profile.
Sweet Corn and Black Beans: Corn adds natural sweetness and texture, while black beans provide creaminess and plant-based protein.
Sour Cream: A smooth and slightly tangy component that balances the richness of the cheese and beef.
Cheddar and Monterey Jack Cheeses: These cheeses melt beautifully, creating a gooey and irresistible layer.
Crispy Baked Tortilla Chips: Adds a crunchy texture with a hint of corn flavor, enhancing the layers of the casserole.
Garlic Powder, Onion Powder, Salt, Black Pepper, and Green Onions: These seasonings enhance the overall taste and bring out the flavors in every bite.
Directions
Step 1: Preheat and Prepare
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish to prevent sticking.
Step 2: Cook the Beef or Turkey
In a large skillet over medium-high heat, cook the ground beef or turkey until browned. Drain any excess fat to prevent greasiness.
Step 3: Add Seasonings and Mix
Stir in the homemade taco seasoning, diced tomatoes with green chilies, sweet corn, black beans, sour cream, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to evenly combine flavors.
Step 4: Layer the Casserole
In the prepared baking dish, spread half of the crushed baked tortilla chips, followed by the seasoned beef mixture. Sprinkle half of the cheddar and Monterey Jack cheeses over the top. Repeat the layers with the remaining chips and cheese.
Step 5: Bake
Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the cheese is fully melted and bubbling.
Step 6: Garnish and Serve
Top with chopped green onions for a fresh finish before serving.
