Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1 small onion, diced
  • 8 ounces 90%-lean ground beef
  • 1 tablespoon chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • ½ teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1 (14.5 ounce) can fire-roasted diced tomatoes
  • 1 (28 ounce) can hominy, rinsed

  • 1 cup shredded sharp Cheddar cheese
  • 4 cups chopped romaine lettuce
  • ½ cup low-fat plain strained yogurt, such as Greek-style

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Lightly coat a 9-by-13-inch baking dish with cooking spray.

  5. Add tomatoes and their juices, hominy, beans, and chiles; simmer, stirring occasionally, until slightly thickened, about 5 minutes.
  6. Pour mixture into the prepared pan. Top with tortilla chips and cheese.
  7. Cover with foil and bake for 30 minutes.
  8. Uncover and bake until lightly browned and bubbling, about 10 more minutes.
  9. Let stand for 10 minutes before serving. Serve with romaine, yogurt, cilantro, and scallions.

Notes

  • To prevent soggy tortilla chips, add them just before baking.
  • Use sturdy tortilla chips for better texture.
  • Substitute ground turkey or chicken for beef if preferred.
  • Can be assembled ahead and refrigerated before baking.
