Ingredients

  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1 medium sweet red pepper, chopped
  • 1/2 medium onion, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon taco seasoning
  • 1 can (15-1/4 ounces) black beans, rinsed and drained
  • 1 can (10 ounces) diced tomatoes and green chiles, undrained
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1 package (9-1/4 ounces) Doritos
  • 3 cups shredded cheddar cheese, divided
  • Optional: sliced or cubed avocado, salsa, sliced jalapeno peppers and additional sour cream

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°. In a large skillet, cook ground beef, red pepper and onion over medium heat until beef is browned, 7-8 minutes. Stir in taco seasoning, black beans and diced tomatoes; let simmer until thickened, 1-2 minutes. Remove from heat, add sour cream until well combined.
  2. In a greased 13x9-in. baking dish, layer half the Doritos, half the meat mixture, and 1-1/2 cups cheddar; repeat layers. Bake until cheese is melted and bubbly, 25-30 minutes. If desired, top with avocado, salsa, jalapeños and additional sour cream.
