Ingredients

  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1 small red onion, chopped
  • 1 can (15-1/4 ounces) whole kernel corn, drained
  • 10 corn tortillas (6 inches), cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 1 bottle (8 ounces) taco sauce
  • 1-1/4 cups shredded cheddar cheese, divided
  • Hot pepper sauce, optional
  • Sour cream, chopped green onion, chopped tomatoes, cilantro, salsa, for topping

Method

  1. In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the beef and onions until the meat is no longer pink. Drain to remove excess fat and water. Editor's Tip: Believe it or not, there's a wrong way to brown ground beef. Here's how to cook and brown ground beef the right way.
  2. To the beef mixture, add the corn, tortilla pieces, taco sauce and 1 cup cheese. Continue to cook until bubbly and heated through.
  3. To serve, sprinkle with the remaining cheese, a drizzle of hot sauce if desired, and any other toppings. Enjoy!
