Instructions

- Stir in the taco seasoning, black beans, diced tomatoes with green chilies, and salsa. Let it simmer for 5 minutes.

Notes
- For extra heat, add jalapeños or spicy salsa.

- Use gluten-free tortilla chips to make the casserole gluten-free.
- Top with more crushed tortilla chips for extra crunch.
- Can be made ahead and stored in the fridge before baking.
