Ingredients
  

  • 1 1/2 pounds ground beef
  • 1 cup chopped onion
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 1 1 ounce package taco seasoning mix
  • 1 10 ounce can refried beans
  • 1 6 ounce can sliced black olives
  • 1 4 ounce can diced green chiles
  • 1/2 cup salsa
  • 15 taco shells broken up, or more to taste
  • 2 cups shredded Cheddar cheese

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Spray a 9x13-inch baking pan with cooking spray.
  • Cook ground beef and onions in a skillet over medium heat until beef is browned, 7 to 10 minutes; drain grease.
  • Stir in water and taco seasoning; cook, stirring often, until thickened, about 2 minutes. Reduce heat to low and add refried beans, olives, green chiles, and salsa. Cook and stir until ingredients are warmed through, 3 to 4 minutes.
  • Place 1/2 of the broken taco shells in the bottom of the prepared baking dish. Pour in 1/2 of the ground beef mixture over broken taco shells.
  • Sprinkle 1/2 of the Cheddar cheese over top. Repeat layers once more.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until cheese is melted and bubbly, 20 to 25 minutes.
  • Serve hot and enjoy!
