Ingredients

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 350ðF (175ðC).
  2. In a large skillet over medium-high heat, cook the ground beef and chopped onion until the beef is browned and the onion is tender, about 5-7 minutes.
  3. Drain any excess fat from the skillet.
  4. Stir in the taco seasoning, chopped green chilies, and whole tomatoes with their liquid.
  5. Reduce heat to low and simmer the meat mixture uncovered for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens slightly.
  6. Spread half of the tortilla chips evenly in the bottom of a 13x9-inch baking dish.
  7. Spoon half of the meat mixture over the chips, then sprinkle with half of the Monterey Jack cheese and half of the cheddar cheese.
  8. Repeat layers with the remaining chips, meat mixture, and cheeses.
  9. Bake for 10-15 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  10. Let stand for 5 minutes before serving to allow the chips to absorb some sauce.
