This casserole tastes like a taco salad and is a breeze to assemble. I crush tortilla chips to form a bottom layer, then spread on refried beans, a spicy meat mixture and cheese. —Rhonda McKee, Greensburg, Kansas

This ws realy great. I added some chips to the top for the last 5 minutes. Think I would add more chips to the bottom.

We loved this recipe! I made it for a few picky teenage girls, and they loved it! My husband had leftovers today and he thought it was very tasty! I served it with sour cream, salsa and shredded lettuce.

I have made this recipe many times. I have also changed this recipe by using Frito corn chips instead tortilla chips and a can of black beans (rinsed and drained) instead of refried beans.
