Our family’s favorite tortilla chips are the cantina versions that are thin and crispy, but for this recipe do not use those. The thin chips will break down the minute you pile the beef and beans, so make sure you use thick tortillas for this casserole.
Side Note: This recipe is not carb free, but you could make it a bit more health friendly by skipping the chips if you want.

I didn’t put the chips in the bottom, we just ate it separately. I did 2 pounds ground beef and 2 cans beans. corn with liquid drained. more cheese. No olives. The rest was the same. Great dish!
