I really like tacos. They’ve been a favorite since my teen years and I usually can’t get enough. As a matter of fact, our families favorite restaurant is a Mexican restaurant a couple of towns over. It’s one of the few places we are willing to eat out because their food is made from scratch and absolutely amazing! (If only I could get a hold of their awesome salsa and chips recipe as they make both from scratch!) Recently, I was wanting a Mexican style meal but was tired of plain old tacos so I whipped up this Taco Fiesta Bake. The best part is that it’s easy to customize to your families liking by adding or subtracting ingredients.
This recipe is simple to customize. While I like to serve some Spanish Rice as a side dish, you could easily just incorporate inside the dish too. Does your family like black olives? Just add them in! I’ve tried several different variations and this has been the best received combination by family and friends.
- 1 # ground beef
- ½ cup sour cream
- 1 can diced tomatoes with green chilies
- 1 cup salsa
- taco seasoning
- shredded cheese
- 1 large bag of nacho chips
- Brown hamburger over medium heat. I season my meat with seasoning salt, onion salt, garlic salt, and pepper as I do this.
- Once hamburger is done, add in the sour cream, diced tomatoes, salsa, and taco seasoning.
- Simmer for a few minutes.
- Spray a 9x12 baking pan with non-stick cooking spray.
- Layer the bottom of the pan with the bag of chips.
- Spread the meat mixture over the chips.
- Top with shredded cheese.
- Bake for about 20 minutes at 350 degrees.
I’ve also tried this recipe using Doritos but found that those tend to get soft while the typical nacho dipping chips stay crispier. So if you’re a huge Doritos fan, I’d suggest layering the bottom as directed and sprinkling crushed Doritos over the top once done baking.
So let me know what you think! Would this be a recipe your family would enjoy?

This looks really good. I would want some refried beans in thre or as a side. I love those things and I say yes to those olives. I am a big taco fan too as long as they are mild. I could even see this at a potluck or picnic at a family gathering. Very different and sounds yummy.

My whole family loves tacos but I get bored with just regular tacos. This seems like a great take on boring old tacos though!

I’m on the hunt for some new family recipes because we are stuck in a food rut. This one looks interesting but I might have to just do diced tomatoes because my family aren’t fans of green chilies.
-
Hi Michelle,
Honestly, I don’t use green chilies for hardly anything as our family isn’t a huge fan usually either. But the diced tomatoes w/green chilies really gives the dish a little more flavor. So if you find it too bland with the plain diced tomatoes, consider giving the alternative a try!

Could this be crock-potted?
-
Hi Kelly,
If you would crock-pot it, I’d say put all ingredients in except the chips. When time to serve, place the chips on the plate and top with the filling. I think the chips would end up soggy if they sat in a crockpot….?

I am always trying to get my husband to try a taco/burrito bake. I think I have looked at enough recipes now to give me a good idea of what I’m going to do to get my husband to try it. The doritos idea lol I have to do more casseroles since I am ill and make them exciting since I used to cook homemade everything all the time. Thanks for the ideas.

Looks like a quick satisfying meal. I’ve made something similar to this with Doritos before except maybe added some on top for crunchiness. You are right the Doritos can get a bit soggy on the bottom. Yum meal for Taco Tuesday.

I made this using Fritos on the bottom, and Doritos, on top. It was mildly spicy, so if you like it hotter, then us whatever that will make spicy for you. We loved it! I also added drained corn . I also put sour cream on mine. No lettuce or tomatoes! YUM

This reminds me of tamale pie which is a favorite filling dish of mine. I have to bookmark this one!
This looks like a good and quick lunch item that my husband would love!
