This taco casserole dish is totally versatile. If you are not a fan of refried beans then you do not have to use them. If you want a serious kick, use hot salsa, refried beans with green chilies, and add diced jalapenos to the top after baking. I personally like to top my serving with additional hot sauce. This dish can be made into a 9×13 pan, but I would recommend adding an additional cup of tortilla chips.

First you will start out by layering the tortilla chips on the bottom of the casserole dish. Top with dollops of refried beans.

Then you will sprinkle with one cup of shredded cheese. Add salsa and smooth beans and ingredients with the back of a spoon. Top with ground meat and remaining cheese. Add olives and green onions and bake for 15-20 minutes at 350 degrees.

Remove from oven and top with tomatoes, sour cream, lettuce and cilantro before serving.
