Add green onions, olives, and bell pepper.
Last add beans and mix well.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
Start by putting a thin layer of meat in 9 x 13 pan.
Spread 1/2 of nacho cheese chips, pressing down gently to crush slightly.
Spread 1/2 of meat mixture across evenly over chips.
***Spread 1/2 of avocado dip and 1/2 of sour cream across meat.
Spread 1/2 of cheese across avocado/sour cream mixture.
Repeat layers starting with chips.
Bake for 20 minutes. Serve with salad on side.
***My DS doesn't like either sour cream or Avocado and I made this without this layer and it turned out just as great. I had avocado dip and sour cream on side.
