Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
Cook the beef: In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef and diced onion until the meat is browned and the onions are soft. Drain any excess grease.
Season the beef: Add taco seasoning and water, stirring to combine. Simmer for 2-3 minutes until thickened.
Mix the filling: Stir in Rotel tomatoes, black beans, cream of mushroom soup, sour cream, and salsa. Cook for 2-3 minutes, then remove from heat.
Layer the casserole: Spread half of the crushed Doritos in the bottom of the baking dish. Spoon half of the beef mixture over the chips. Sprinkle 1 cup of shredded cheese. Repeat layers.
Bake for 25 minutes until bubbly and heated through.
Add toppings: Sprinkle with the remaining crushed Doritos, black olives (if using), and green onions. Bake for an additional 5 minutes.
Serve hot and enjoy!

Notes

Swap out the ground beef for ground turkey or shredded chicken for a lighter option.
For extra heat, add jalapeños or use spicy taco seasoning.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven for best results.
