Combining seasoned ground beef, creamy cheese, and crunchy Fritos, this casserole offers all the taco goodness you love in a single, easy-to-make dish.

Ingredients:

• 1 can enchilada sauce
• 2 ounces cream cheese
• 1 bag Fritos corn chips
• 1 bag shredded cheese
• ¾ cup shredded lettuce
• ½ cup fresh tomato, diced
• 16 ounces salsa
• 8 ounces sour cream

Directions:

1. Prepare the Meat Mixture:
   In a large skillet, brown the ground beef with the chopped onion over medium heat. Once the beef is cooked through, stir in the green chilies, enchilada sauce, and cream cheese. Continue stirring until the cream cheese is melted and the mixture is smooth and well-combined.
2. Assemble the Casserole:
   Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
   In a 9×13-inch baking dish, layer the bottom with Fritos corn chips.
   Spread the meat mixture evenly over the chips, followed by a generous layer of shredded cheese. Repeat the layers, finishing with a final layer of cheese on top.
3. Bake the Casserole:
   Place the casserole in the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
4. Serve and Garnish:
   Once baked, serve individual portions and top each with shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, salsa, and a dollop of sour cream for an added burst of freshness.
