Ingredients:

  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1 bag tortilla chips (about 12 ounces)
  • 3 cups shredded cheese (such as cheddar or a Mexican blend)
  • 1 (28 ounce) can of red enchilada sauce
  • 1 (4 ounce) can of diced green chilies, drained
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • ½ cup salsa

  3. Add diced green chilies, salsa, and ground cumin to the browned beef. Mix thoroughly.
  4. In a large mixing bowl, gently break up the tortilla chips; aim for pieces rather than crumbs.

  6. Spray a 9x13 baking dish with non-stick cooking spray.
  7. Pour the tortilla chip enchilada mixture into the baking dish, spreading it evenly.
  8. Sprinkle the remaining 2 cups of shredded cheese evenly over the top.
  9. Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake for 50 minutes, until hot and bubbly.
  10. Remove from the oven and let stand for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy while hot!
