Instructions:
Cook the Ground Beef:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a large skillet, cook the ground beef over medium heat until it’s browned and fully cooked. Drain any excess fat. Add the taco seasoning mix, diced tomatoes with green chilies, black beans, and corn. Stir everything together and let it simmer for about 5 minutes to meld the flavors.
Assemble the Casserole:
Take a 9×13-inch baking dish and spread a layer of corn chips across the bottom. Spoon the beef mixture evenly over the chips, ensuring every bit is covered. Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese generously over the top.
Bake the Casserole:
Place the casserole dish in the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the cheese is melted, golden, and bubbly. The aroma should be irresistible!
Add Toppings and Serve:
Remove the casserole from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes. Spread the sour cream over the top in a thin layer. Then, garnish with sliced black olives, chopped green onions, chopped cilantro, chopped tomato, and shredded lettuce.
Serve:
Scoop generous portions of the Walking Taco Casserole onto plates, making sure to get a bit of every layer in each serving. Serve with extra sour cream, salsa, or guacamole on the side for added flavor!
