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