1 ounce taco seasoning
1 (10 ounce) can Rotel tomatoes with green chilis
1 (16 ounce) can pinto beans, drained and rinsed
1 (16 ounce) shredded colby jack cheese
1 (16 ounce) bag Doritos Nacho Cheese chips

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Spray a 9 x 13 casserole dish with non-stick cooking spray.
Cook the ground beef in a large skillet over medium heat. Make sure to break it up with a spatula and cook until browned. Drain off any excess grease.
Stir in the diced onions and diced red peppers. Cook for 2-3 minutes.
Stir in the taco seasonings and the can of Rotel and cook for another 2-3 minutes.
Stir in the beans and sour cream. Remove the skillet form the heat.
Break of the Doritos chips into smaller pieces. Make sure not to break them up too small.
Spread 1/3 of the broken Doritos chips over the bottom of the casserole dish. Top with half of the ground beef mixture. Spread 1/3 of the shredded cheese over the beef mixture.
Add the next 1/3 of broken Doritos over the cheese. Top with the remaining ground beef mixture, and 1/3 of cheese. Spread out the remaining chips and cheese.
Cover the dish with foil and bake for 25 minutes.
Optional, add any extra toppings like diced green onions.
Serve warm.

Notes

If possible, use freshly shredded cheese for the best melting results.
Gently break up the Dorito chips into smaller pieces. Make sure not to crumble them up too small.
Let the casserole rest for about 5 minutes before serving. This helps everything hold together.
