Time 35m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 lb lean ground beef
1 package taco seasoning mix
1 cup water
1 medium onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
4 ounces taco sauce
3 ounces cream cheese
8 ounces corn kernels
4 ounces sliced olives
1 bag Fritos corn chips, 10 ounce size
2 cups Mexican blend cheese, shredded
tomatoes, diced
green onion, diced
sour cream
shredded lettuce

Steps:

  • Brown the ground beef with the onions and garlic.
  • When all the pink is out of the meat add the seasoning mix, water, cream cheese, corn, 1/2 the olives and Taco sauce.
  • Let this simmer for 3 to 4 minutes.
  • Crush the Fritos chips (I used the chili flavored ones, but plain will work fine).
  • In an 8x12 casserole dish, layer 1/2 of the Fritos, then 1/2 the meat filling, and then 1/2 the cheese (regular cheddar will work also, I just prefer the combined cheese flavors).
  • Repeat the layers and top with the remaining olives.
  • Bake at 375° for 20-25 minutes, or until it is warmed completely and the cheese is melted.
  • To serve, you can top with shredded lettuce, the diced green onions (tops included), diced tomatoes and a shot of the sour cream.
