This is what I would serve at a typical supper here at my house when I am pressed for time and need something fast and filling. I have used ground turkey or ground chicken with great results but there is no reason that you could not use plain old ground beef. Hope you like it!

Ingredients

6 serv.
  • ground chicken or ground beef1 lb
  • small onion1

    minced

  • garlic cloves2

    minced

  • chili powder1 tablespoon
  • cumin1 tablespoon

    ground

  • oregano1 teaspoon
  • tomatoes and green chilies10 ounces

    undrained (Rotel)

  • pinto beans14 ounces

    drained

  • corn kernel1 cup
  • tortilla chips10 ounces
  • monterey jack cheese2 cups

    shredded

Step-by-step instructions

  1. 1

    Brown meat, onion and garlic in large skillet until no pink remains and onion is clear. Drain grease.

  2. 2

    Add spices, tomatoes, beans and corn and mix well.

  3. 3

    Continue to cook over medium heat until some of the liquid has evaporated. You want a little liquid but not alot- like a sloppy joe mixture.

  4. 4

    In an 8x8 greased pan crush a handful of chips and place on the bottom of the pan, adding more chips until you have a good layer. **** I like to get it as dry as possible here so that it holds together like a lasagna. PLEASE use your taste and judgment here and make it as dry or as liquid as you like. :)

  5. 5

    Layer meat mixture on top of chips.

  6. 6

    Crush some more chips and place on top of meat. Press down on chip layer to draw some moisture into the top layer of chips.

  7. 7

    Top with cheese.

  8. 8

    Bake at 350F for about 20 minutes or until cheese is thoroughly melted.
