Ingredients

  • 2 teaspoon oil or non-stick cooking spray
  • 1 lb ground beef
  • ½ cup yellow onion chopped
  • 2 teaspoon garlic minced
  • 15 oz black beans rinsed and drained
  • 2-3 tablespoon taco seasoning homemade or store bought
  • ¼ cup water
  • 4 cups Doritos crushed
  • 3 cups shredded cheese cheddar, Chihuahua, Monterey Jack
  • 15-20 oz red enchilada sauce canned or homemade

Topping Ideas

  • Sour cream, sliced jalapeños, cilantro, guacamole

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 375 degrees F.
  • Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add oil or non-stick cooking spray. Add ground beef, chopped onions, minced garlic and cook until meat is no longer pink. Drain off any excess grease.
  • Add rinsed and drained black beans to the meat mixture along with the taco seasoning and water. Stir to combine until water is absorbed.
  • Spray the bottom and the sides of a 11 by 7 inch casserole dish with non-stick cooking spray. Add 1⅓ cups of crushed Doritos to the bottom of the pan.
  • Layer half the ground beef mixture over the Doritos, then add one cup shredded cheese, and half the can of enchilada sauce.
  • Repeat the layers: Doritos, remaining ground beef mixture, cheese, enchilada sauce. Finish with a final layer of crushed Doritos and shredded cheese.
  • Bake in a preheated oven for about 20 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the sides of the casserole are bubbly.
  • Serve with a dollop of sour cream and your favorite toppings.

Notes

  • Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3-4 days.
  • Pre-shredded cheese is a great time saver. 
  • Use a sheet pan if you're feeding a crowd and double or triple the recipe. 
  • Use Cool ranch Doritos for a fun twist.
  • A great way to use up leftover taco meat.
