Huge hit with the fam. No modifications. I did serve it with sour cream, salsa and sliced avocados for toppings.
Half to cut the recipe in half. Just too much for 2 people. Unless you are into left overs for a couple days. Lol
Really good made this for my family of four with two big eaters but still had enough for a few meals.
made this for dinner last night and it was pretty tasty! i took the advice of other reviews and omitted the chili powder and used half a package of taco seasoning while cooking the meat and mixed the other half with the sour cream, only used 1 can of black beans and corn, only did about 2 cups of chips, and only did 2 layers. it turned out pretty good, will be using the leftovers to make burritos!!
It was an okay dinner, but kind of bland.
Just made this tonight with my own tweak. Delicious. Like a taco casserole. Definitely something I’ll make again in the future.
Easy and filling. We like ours rolled up in whole wheat soft tortillas. Per other suggestions, while browning the meat with the garlic and onion, I added a few dashes of taco seasoning. I used only 1 can of reduced sodium black beans, and maybe about 10oz of frozen corn, only 8oz sour cream (all I had of those). I mixed in some more dashes of taco seasoning in the whole mix. Layered 1/2 mixture, chips (just enough to cover layer), about 1 cup cheese, other 1/2 mixture, then another cup cheese. Turned out great!
Amazing!!!!
Not bad. Hearty weeknight, quick-fix meal. Not a “showy” dish at all. Casserole fare “get it on the table and be done with it” meal. Hubby really liked it. Ingredients were handy. Will probably make again in a pinch.
My husband loved it, me not so much.
Pretty darn good! THANK YOU!
This was a very good dinner for all of us and I thank you.
Everyone who eats it, loves it! It’s great for a large group of people or an office pot luck.
My husband an sons didn’t like this very much. I thought it was ok, but not great. Won’t be making this again.
We love spicy mexican food but not mushy corn tortillas like in enchiladas, so I should have known I wouldn’t care for this. I think if the crumbled tortilla chips had all been on top of the bean mixture instead of thoughout the casserole I may have liked it. One family member did like it however.
I didn’t try the suggestion of other reviewers to add taco seasoning to the recipe. I wish I had. It was incredibly bland.
This is okay. It is a bit dry, but that’s easily adddressed with more sour cream with the casserole or maybe more salsa. The flavor is kind of blah–definitely needs more seasonings, and I’m not sure I’m thrilled with the black beans and corn. I personally think it needs some refried beans either in addition or as a sub to the black beans. I used lime flavored tortilla chips, and it masked the flavor (mostly) of the lime (I think that’s a good thing–not thrilled with the lime tortilla chips), so don’t be afraid to experiment with the chip type. It’s just so so for us, though–needs some tweaks for us to be wowed. Thanks for the recipe! **Update: tried this again with a lot less tortilla chips, more sour cream, and refried beans instead of corn. I also used canned diced tomatoes. I added taco seasoning and a lot of garlic to the ground beef to spice it up, then added some queso dip to the mixture since I didn’t have much cheese for the casserole itself. Much much better–very moist, almost a dip consistency, and hearty. We really enjoyed it this way! Thanks again for the recipe!
This was really good. I didn’t use beans or sour cream, since I didn’t have either in my kitchen. I will probably use beans next time, but I don’t like sour cream, and I don’t think it necessarily needs it. I also added a taco seasoning packet, which made the dish delightfully spicy!
4th time making this. It is a staple now. Get a LARGE tomato. Those tangy fresh bits really liven up the whole dish. I make the recipe just as it says, the only difference is that I use one large can of corn and 2 different types of beans, and I try my hardest to keep it that way, because it’s just so perfect the way it is. The first time, I followed advice saying that it was too dry, so I didn’t use enough tortilla chips, but if you follow the recipe, it is not too dry. It is just right. I use HOT Pace Picante sauce instead of “fresh salsa” so maybe that makes it wet enough for the chips. *to get the flavor of the toasted corn, make sure you at least get yellow corn chips, not white like Tostitos. I use a brand that my frugal husband got when I sent him to the store called “Calidad” and the flavor is going towards Fritos, but not QUITE as strong. Maybe use half Fritos, half Tostitos if you don’t have Calidad. MUST TRY! ** I made this for dinner the other night and shared with my coworker, and now I’m taking it to a Pot Luck at work tonight. So I went photo crazy while I was making it. It’s not THAT good, to where I would obsess with it, but it IS a hit with the dudes, and I work in an Air Force maintenance shop… they make me think it’s amazing.
We weren’t crazy about this dish. The taste was okay, but the consistency and look of it was a bit off putting. Sorry!
I added taco seasoning and used canned tomatoes when I cooked this. I was very surprised at how yummy it was! If it’s too dry, try not draining all of your canned goods. I’m cooking this again tonight.
