Ingredients

2-1/2 pounds lean ground beef (90% lean)
1 envelope taco seasoning
1 can (8 ounces) tomato sauce
3/4 cup water
1 package (15-1/2 ounces) nacho-flavored tortilla chips, crushed
2 cups shredded Monterey Jack cheese
2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
4 cups torn iceberg lettuce
1 medium red onion, finely chopped
10 slices tomato, halved
1 cup sour cream
10 pitted ripe olives, halved

Directions

Preheat oven to 325°. In a 6-qt. stockpot, cook and crumble beef over medium-high heat until no longer pink, 7-9 minutes. Stir in seasoning, tomato sauce and water; bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer, uncovered, 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Spread chips evenly in a greased 15x10x1-in. baking pan; sprinkle with Monterey Jack cheese. Top with beef mixture; sprinkle with cheddar cheese. Bake until bubbly, 25-30 minutes.
Cut into ten 5x3-in. portions. Top each with lettuce and onion. Add tomatoes, sour cream and olives to make eyeballs.
