First, preheat your oven to 375°F. While it's heating up, brown 1 pound of ground beef in a skillet over medium heat. Drain the excess fat.

Next, add in 1 diced onion and 1 diced bell pepper to the skillet. Cook until they are soft and the beef is fully cooked.

Now, it's time to add in the taco-inspired flavors! Mix in 1 packet of taco seasoning, 1 can of diced tomatoes, and 1 can of black beans (drained and rinsed).

5.

Let the mixture simmer for a few minutes, allowing the flavors to blend together. In the meantime, prepare a 9x13 inch baking dish by greasing it with cooking spray.

6.

Layer half of the beef mixture on the bottom of the dish. Then, top it with a layer of crushed tortilla chips and 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese.

7.

Repeat the layers with the remaining beef mixture, tortilla chips, and cheese. For an extra kick, you can also add some sliced jalapenos on top.

Bake the casserole for 20-25 minutes, until the cheese is melted and bubbly. Once it's done, let it cool for a few minutes before serving.
