1 pound ground beef
1 packet taco seasoning
1 cup salsa
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
2 cups crushed tortilla chips

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until browned, breaking it apart with a spatula. Drain any excess fat.

Stir in the taco seasoning and salsa, and let it simmer for about 5 minutes to let the flavors meld together.

Spread the crushed tortilla chips evenly in the bottom of a 9×13 inch baking dish.

Pour the beef mixture over the chips, spreading it out evenly.

Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the top.

Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Let it cool for a few minutes before serving.

For a bit of extra nutrition, you can add a can of drained black beans or corn to the beef mixture. If you like it spicy, consider adding some chopped jalapeños or using a spicier salsa. For a vegetarian version, substitute the ground beef with a plant-based meat alternative or more beans. You can also experiment with different types of cheese, like pepper jack for a kick or Monterey Jack for a milder flavor.
