Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 375 °F (190 °C) to prepare for baking the casserole.

- Layer the casserole: In a baking dish, spread a layer of crushed tortilla chips, then evenly add the seasoned beef on top, followed by a layer of shredded cheddar cheese.
- Bake: Place the casserole in the preheated oven and bake for 15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Add toppings: Remove the casserole from the oven and top with dollops of sour cream and diced tomatoes before serving.
Notes
- For extra flavor, serve with jalapeños or sliced avocado.
- You can substitute low-carb tortilla chips to make it suitable for low-carb diets.
