  • 1 package taco seasoning
  • ½ cup water
  • 1 can black beans (15 ounces, drained and rinsed)
  • 1 can diced tomatoes with green chiles (10 ounces)
  • ½ cup sour cream
  • 1 bag Fritos corn chips (9.25 ounces)
  • 2 cups Mexican-style shredded cheese

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F. Spray a 13×9 baking dish with nonstick cooking spray.
  2. In a large skillet over medium heat, brown the ground beef until nearly cooked through. Add chopped onions and sauté until soft.

  4. Layer Fritos across the bottom of the baking dish, followed by half of the cheese and half of the beef mixture. Repeat layers with remaining ingredients.
