Ingredients
1 pound ground beef
1 cup salsa
0.5 cup chopped onion
0.5 cup mayonnaise
2 tablespoons chili powder
1 teaspoon ground cumin
2 cups crushed tortilla chips, divided
4 ounces shredded Cheddar cheese, divided
4 ounces shredded Monterey Jack cheese, divided
Equipment
2-quart casserole dish
large skillet
Tips
Serve with toppings like pico de gallo, sour cream, and guacamole.
Mix up the cheeses. Mozzarella will give you a nice cheese pull, and Gouda will give it a smoky finish.
Shred your own cheese.
Use taco seasoning for ease.
Make it extra filling by mixing in some beans or corn.
Dial up the heat with spicy seasoning or salsa, or chopped jalapeños.
Add extra crushed chips on top before serving.
Substitute with shredded chicken or pulled pork.
Use cream cheese instead of mayo for a thicker filling, but make sure it's at room temperature and beat it until smooth before mixing.
Drain the salsa if it's too watery to prevent soggy chips.
Use chili instead of the meat mixture to save prep time.
