Delicious Walking Taco Casserole: The Ultimate Tex-Mex Crowd Pleaser

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1 small onion, chopped finely
  • 1 package taco seasoning
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 1 can (15 ounce) black beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1 can (10 ounce) diced tomatoes with green chiles
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1 bag (9.25 ounce) Fritos corn chips
  • 2 cup Mexican-style shredded cheese

Instructions

1. 1. Preheat your oven to 350°F.

2. 2. In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef and onion until the beef is browned and the onion is tender. Drain any excess fat.

3. 3. Stir in the taco seasoning and water, simmering for 2-3 minutes to allow the flavors to blend.

4. 4. Add the black beans and diced tomatoes with green chiles, and stir to combine.

5. 5. In a greased baking dish, layer half of the Fritos corn chips, followed by half of the beef mixture and half of the shredded cheese. Repeat the layers.

6. 6. Bake the casserole for 15-20 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the dish is heated through.

7. 7. Remove the Walking Taco Casserole from the oven and top it with the desired toppings, such as sliced green onions, sour cream, guacamole, salsa, and diced jalapeños.

Notes

For a vegetarian version, substitute the ground beef with plant-based ground meat or sautéed mushrooms. To make it vegan, use a dairy-free shredded cheese and omit the sour cream, or replace it with a vegan alternative.

If you’re short on time, you can prepare the Walking Taco Casserole ahead of time and store it in the refrigerator until ready to bake. When reheating, be sure to cover the dish with foil to prevent the Fritos from becoming too crispy.
