Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a large skillet, cook the ground beef over medium heat until browned. Drain any excess fat.
  3. Stir in taco seasoning and a splash of water, cooking until well combined.
Layering and Baking
  1. In a greased casserole dish, layer half of the tortilla chips, followed by half of the seasoned beef, black beans, corn, and half of the salsa. Sprinkle with half of the cheese.
  2. Repeat the layers with the remaining chips, beef, black beans, corn, salsa, and top it all off with the remaining cheese.
  3. Cover the casserole with foil and bake in the preheated oven for about 20 minutes.
  4. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden.
  5. Let the casserole cool for a few minutes before garnishing with your favorite toppings like sour cream, lettuce, and tomatoes. Dig in!
