INGREDIENTS

• 1 pound of lean ground beef
• 2 cups salsa
• 1 (16-ounce) can chili beans, drained
• 3 cups tortilla chips, crushed
• 2 cups sour cream
• 1 (2-ounce) can sliced black olives, drained
• 1/2 cup green onion, chopped
• 1/2 cup fresh tomato, chopped
• 2 cups cheddar cheese, shredded

DIRECTIONS

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Spray a 9x13-inch baking dish with cooking spray.
• In a large skillet over medium-high heat, cook the ground beef until it is no longer pink, about 8-10 minutes. Drain excess grease from skillet if necessary. Stir in the salsa to the cooked beef. Reduce the heat to low and simmer the beef mixture until the liquid is absorbed, about 20 minutes.
• Stir the beans into the beef mixture and cook until heated through. Spread the crushed tortilla chips in the prepared baking dish. Spoon the beef mixture on top of the crushed chips. Spread the sour cream over the beef mixture. Sprinkle the olives, the green onions, and the tomato on top of the sour cream. Cover everything with the cheddar cheese.
• Bake until hot and bubbly, about 30 minutes. Serve hot.
