Ingredients:

• 1 Bag of Fritos Corn Chips
• 1 lb Ground Beef
• 1 Can of Black Beans, drained and rinsed
• 1 Cup of Corn (frozen or fresh)
• 1-2 Cups of Shredded Cheddar Cheese
• 1 Bunch of Green Onions, chopped
• 1 Can of Diced Tomatoes, drained
• 1 Packet of Taco Seasoning
• Salt and Pepper to taste
• Sour Cream for serving (optional)

Instructions:

• Cook the Beef: In a skillet over medium heat, brown the ground beef, breaking it apart with a spoon. Drain any excess grease.
• Add Flavor: Stir in the taco seasoning, salt, pepper, and diced tomatoes. Cook for a few more minutes until everything is well combined.
• Layer the Fritos: In a baking dish, create a layer of Fritos corn chips, saving some for the topping.
• Assemble the Pie: Over the Fritos, layer the beef mixture, black beans, corn, and half of the green onions. Sprinkle generously with shredded cheddar cheese.
• Bake to Perfection: Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 15-20 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden.
• The Final Crunch: Top the baked pie with the remaining Fritos and green onions right before serving. This ensures that the Fritos stay crispy and add that signature crunch.
