Ingredients
  

  • 1 onion
  • 1 garlic cloves
  • 3 bell peppers (red, yellow, green)
  • olive oil
  • 1.1 lb ground beef
  • salt and pepper
  • ½ tsp paprika
  • 1 tsp chili flakes
  • 1 pinch ground cumin
  • ½ tsp sugar
  • tbsp tomato paste
  • 2 cups vegetable broth
  • 1 can (14 oz) diced tomatoes
  • cup drained canned corn
  • 1 cup drained canned kidney beans
  • 7 oz tortilla chips (¾ of a standard bag)
  • 1 cup cheddar cheese
  • 2 green onions

Instructions
 

  • Peel and finely dice the onion and garlic. Wash, core, and dice the bell peppers.
  • Heat the olive oil in a pan and brown the ground beef. Season salt and pepper. Add the onion, garlic, and paprika. Cook briefly. Add the diced bell peppers and cook for a few minutes, until soft and fragrant. Add the remaining spices and season to taste.
  • Stir the tomato paste into the pan, cook briefly. Deglaze with vegetable broth and diced tomatoes. Stir well and let the sauce simmer for about 15 minutes over low heat.
  • Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 400°F.
  • Drain the corn and beans in a sieve. Rinse the beans under cold water, drain well, and stir the beans and corn into the ground beef mixture. Let simmer for a few minutes over medium heat until the vegetables are tender but still slightly firm. Stir occasionally to prevent burning.
  • Pour the ground beef mixture into the casserole dish and loosely spread whole tortilla chips on top.
  • Sprinkle the grated cheddar generously over the chips. Bake the casserole in the oven for 15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and golden.
  • After baking, sprinkle the casserole with sliced green onions. Serve with guacamole and fresh lime wedges.
