Recipe: Beef and Bean Taco Bake

Ingredients:
1 lb. cooked taco meat (or make your own with ground beef, taco seasoning, and onion)
1 can (16 oz.) refried beans
2 c. salsa
3ish c. broken up tortilla chips
3 tomatoes, diced
2 c. cheddar cheese (with a bit of habanero cheddar)
1/2 c. sliced black olives
2 c. shredded lettuce

Directions:
Heat oven to 350°F.

In 12-inch skillet, heat taco meat, refried beans, and salsa to boiling, stirring frequently.

In ungreased 9x13 casserole, place 2 cups of the broken tortilla chips. Top evenly with beef mixture. Sprinkle with 1 cup of the tomato.

Bake uncovered 20 to 30 minutes. Top baked casserole with lettuce, cheese, remaining tomato, olives, and remaining tortilla chips.

Notes:
Recipe was originally for 9x9 pan and with half as many toppings, but it was a bit thick. Will probably work better in 9x13 pan with doubled amount of toppings.
