Main Ingredients

Method

Cooking the Beef Mixture

  1. 1

    Brown the Ground Beef

    In a large skillet over medium heat, add the ground beef and cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes. Break it apart with a spoon as it cooks.

  2. 2

    Add Vegetables

    Add chopped onion, minced garlic, and chopped bell pepper to the skillet. Sauté for 3-4 minutes until the vegetables are softened.

  3. 3

    Mix in Beans and Corn

    Stir in the drained black beans and frozen corn kernels. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the corn is heated through.

  4. 4

    Add Seasoning

    Pour in the diced tomatoes with green chilies and taco seasoning. Stir well to combine and let it simmer for 5-10 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.

Assembling the Dish

  1. 5

    Prepare the Base

    On a large serving platter, spread a layer of tortilla chips evenly.

  2. 6

    Add Beef Mixture

    Spoon the beef and vegetable mixture generously over the tortilla chips.

  3. 7

    Sprinkle Cheese

    Evenly sprinkle the shredded cheese over the top of the beef mixture.

  4. 8

    Add Toppings

    Top with dollops of sour cream, guacamole, and chopped cilantro. Add sliced jalapeños to taste.
