For a spicier kick, use hot taco sauce or add a pinch of cayenne pepper to the meat mixture. Feel free to substitute ground turkey or chicken for the ground beef. If you don't have tortilla chips on hand, you can use crushed corn flakes or bread crumbs instead. Add a can of drained and rinsed black beans or corn kernels to the meat mixture for extra texture and flavor. Top with a layer of shredded cheese during the last 10 minutes of baking for an extra cheesy finish.
