Ingredients
- 1 pound lean ground beef
- 1 cup chopped yellow onion
- 1 cup chopped red bell pepper
- 1 1-ounce packet taco seasoning
- 1/2 cup water
- 1 14.5-ounce can diced tomatoes and green chilies (such as ROTEL®), drained
- 1 15-ounce can black beans, drained and rinsed
- 1 cup sour cream plus more for serving
- 1 9 1/4-ounce bag nacho cheese or cool ranch Doritos®, lightly crushed (about 5 cups)
- 3 cups shredded Cheddar-Jack cheese
- 1 tomato chopped, or to taste
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro or to taste
- 1/2 cup salsa or to taste
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 3-quart baking dish with nonstick spray.
- Brown the ground beef in a large skillet over medium heat, about 6-8 minutes. Drain any excess grease.
- Add onion and bell pepper to the skillet and cook until tender, about 5 minutes.
- Stir in the taco seasoning and water. Simmer for about 5 minutes until thickened. Add the diced tomatoes, black beans, and sour cream, stirring to combine.
- Layer 1 1/2 cups of the crushed Doritos at the bottom of the prepared baking dish.
- Spread half of the meat mixture evenly over the Doritos layer. Sprinkle 1 1/2 cups of cheese on top.
- Repeat the layers: Doritos, the remaining half of the meat, and another 1 1/2 cups of cheese.
- Bake for 25 minutes, or until the cheese is fully melted and bubbly.
- Top with chopped tomato, cilantro, and serve with salsa and additional sour cream on the side.
