1 pound lean (at least 80%) ground beef
1 can (16 ounce) refried beans
1 jar (16 ounce) salsa
1 package (1 ounce) less-sodium taco seasoning mix
2 1/2 cups coarsely broken tortilla chips
1/2 medium green bell pepper, chopped (3/4 cup)
4 medium green onions, sliced (1/4 cup)
2 medium tomatoes, chopped (1 1/2 cups)
1 cup shredded cheddar or Monterey Jack cheese
1/4 cup sliced ripe olives
1 cup shredded lettuce
Directions
Heat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. In 12-inch skillet, cook beef over medium-high heat 5 to 7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until thoroughly cooked; drain. Stir in refried beans, salsa, and taco seasoning mix. Reduce heat to medium. Heat to boiling, stirring occasionally.
In ungreased 2-quart casserole, place 2 cups of the broken tortilla chips. Top evenly with beef mixture. Sprinkle with bell pepper, onions, 1 cup of the tomato, the cheese, and olives.
Bake uncovered 20 to 30 minutes or until hot and bubbly and cheese is melted. Top baked casserole with lettuce, remaining 1/2 cup tomato, and remaining 1/2 cup tortilla chips.
Notes: There are some great variations on this recipe to make it healthier and/or easier to make.

Notes: There are some great variations on this recipe to make it healthier and/or easier to make.
1) Use lean ground turkey instead of beef
2) Make your own taco seasoning to control the amount of sodium
3)Place in crock pot instead of baking
4) Use frozen or thawed chicken breasts instead of beef/turkey when making in the crock pot.
5) Substitute black beans for the refried beans
6) Substitute torn up corn tortillas for the chips
7) Add a can of corn (drained)
