Ingredients

1 pound ground beef
1 medium onion - diced
2 cloves garlic - pressed
⅓ cup mexican salsa
16 oz refried beans
10 oz enchilada sauce
1 cup black olives - sliced
1 teaspoon salt
6 cups corn chips - crushed
3 cups cheddar cheese - grated

garnishes:

chopped fresh tomatoes
shredded iceberg lettuce
sliced green onions
diced avocado
optional sour cream

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 375 F and grease a 9"x13" baking dish.
In a large frying pan over medium heat, brown the ground beef with the onion and garlic until the beef is browned and the onion is soft.
Lower the heat and add the salsa, beans, enchilada sauce, olives, and salt. Stir and cook until well combined and bubbly, then remove from heat.
Place 1 cup of the chips in the bottom of the baking dish. Spread half of the beef mixture on top. Top with another cup of the chips and half of the cheese. Spread over the remaining beef mixture, the rest of the chips, and sprinkle on the rest of the cheese.
Bake the pie for 30 to 40 minutes, or until the center is hot and bubbly. Serve immediately with bowls filled with garnishes.
