Ingredients
  

1 pound ground beef

1 small onion, finely diced

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 packet taco seasoning (approximately 1 ounce)

1 can (15 ounces) black beans, drained and rinsed

1 cup corn (fresh, frozen, or canned)

1 cup salsa (your favorite flavor)

1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese

2 cups crushed tortilla chips

1 cup sour cream

1 cup diced tomatoes (optional, for topping)

1/4 cup sliced green onions (optional, for garnish)

1 tablespoon olive oil

Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). This will ensure that your pie bakes evenly and the cheese melts perfectly.

    Cook the Beef: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and minced garlic, sautéing for about 3-4 minutes or until the onion becomes translucent. Then, add the ground beef to the skillet, using a spoon to break it into smaller pieces. Season with salt and pepper. Cook for 5-7 minutes or until the beef is browned and cooked through, with no pink remaining.

      Add Seasonings: Carefully drain any excess fat from the skillet. Stir in the taco seasoning, black beans, corn, and salsa. Cook for an additional 5 minutes, stirring occasionally to allow all the flavors to meld together. Once combined, remove the skillet from heat.

        Layer the Dish: Lightly grease a 9-inch pie dish. Begin by spreading half of the crushed tortilla chips evenly across the bottom as a base. Next, pour the seasoned beef mixture over the chips, spreading it out evenly. Top with half of the shredded cheddar cheese.

          Top It Off: Evenly distribute the remaining crushed tortilla chips on top of the cheese layer. Spoon dollops of sour cream over the chips, then sprinkle the remaining cheddar cheese to cover everything.

            Bake: Carefully place the pie in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes. The pie is ready when the cheese is fully melted and bubbly, creating a delicious golden layer on top.

              Serve: After baking, let the pie rest for about 5 minutes. If desired, sprinkle the diced tomatoes on top and garnish with sliced green onions before serving. This adds a fresh touch to your dish!

                Enjoy! Slice into wedges and serve warm, with extra salsa or sour cream on the side for dipping.
