For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a can of drained and rinsed black beans or corn to the ground beef mixture. Feel free to adjust the amount of chili powder to suit your preferred level of spice. To prevent the tortilla chips from becoming soggy, you can lightly toast them in the oven before layering them into the casserole. Serve with your favorite taco toppings such as shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, sour cream, guacamole, or a drizzle of hot sauce.
