Instructions
- Spray a 13×9-inch baking pan with non-stick spray. Set aside.
- Preheat oven to 400°F.
- Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high.
- Add onion and garlic; cook, stirring often, until translucent, about 4 minutes.

- Top with half of the beef mixture.
- Spread another layer of tortilla chips over beef, and sprinkle with 1 ½ cups of the cheese.
- Top with remaining half of beef mixture, and add the remaining chips and cheese.
- Cover with aluminum foil, and bake for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the mixture bubbles around the edges.
- Remove the foil and bake about 5 more minutes, or until cheese is melted and begins to be golden brown.
- Remove from oven and let stand for 5 minutes.
- Garnish with cilantro before serving.
Notes
- Prevent soggy chips by layering them between the beef mixture.
- Substitute ground turkey for beef if preferred.
- Use Monterey Jack or pepper jack cheese for variation.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
- Reheat in the oven at 350°F for best texture.
