INGREDIENTS

1. 24 Tortilla Chips
2. 1/2 tablespoon Olive Oil
3. 1 small Onion, chopped
4. 2 cloves Garlic, minced
5. 1 pound extra-lean Ground Beef OR Ground Chicken
6. 2 tablespoons low-sodium Taco Seasoning
7. 1 (15 ounce) can Black Beans, drained and rinsed
8. 1 cup chunky Salsa
9. 1 cup low-fat Cheddar Cheese or Mozzarella, shredded

INSTRUCTIONS

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
2. In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add onion and saute for 5 minutes. Add in garlic, ground beef and taco seasoning. Cook and crumble beef until it’s browned. Stir in black beans and salsa. Cook another 5 minutes or until heated through.
3. In a 9×13 baking dish, lay tortilla chips on the bottom. Gently press down on them to break them into bite-size pieces. Pour cooked meat mixture evenly over the top. Sprinkle evenly with shredded cheddar cheese. Bake, uncovered for 15-20 minutes, or until cheese is melted and bubbly. Remove from oven, and let stand 5 minutes before slicing. Top with favorite toppings!
