Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound lean ground beef
- 1/2 yellow onion, diced
- 1 teaspoon minced garlic
- 1 packet taco seasoning
- 12 ounce bag frozen corn
- 14.5 ounce can petite diced tomatoes with green chilies, undrained
- 1 cup sour cream
- 2 cups Doritos, finely crushed
- 1 cup Doritos, loosely crushed
- 3 cups Mexican blend cheese
- 1 cup black beans (optional)
Instructions
- Brown the ground beef in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Drain off excess grease.
- Add diced yellow onion and minced garlic to the skillet with the beef. Cook until onion softens, about 5-7 minutes.
- Stir in the taco seasoning and cook for one more minute, stirring constantly.
- Add frozen corn, undrained petite diced tomatoes with green chilies, and optional black beans. Stir and bring to a gentle simmer.
- Remove skillet from heat. Stir in sour cream and then fold in the 2 cups of finely crushed Doritos.
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9×13 inch baking dish.
- Pour the mixture evenly into the prepared baking dish.
- Sprinkle the Mexican blend cheese evenly over the top.
- Top with the 1 cup of loosely crushed Doritos.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until cheese is melted and bubbly and Doritos are golden brown.
- Let sit for a few minutes before serving. Garnish optionally with green onions, diced tomatoes, lettuce, avocado, or sour cream.
Notes
- For finely crushed Doritos, place them in a Ziploc bag and crush with a rolling pin or the bottom of a glass. For the topping, a gentle crush by hand is perfect.
- This casserole can be assembled a day in advance up to step 8. Refrigerate and bake as usual, adding a slightly longer baking time.
