A delightful and easy-to-make Tex-Mex casserole that combines layers of flavorful ingredients for a hearty and satisfying meal.
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
Greasing the dish ensures the casserole doesn't stick, making serving and cleaning easier.
In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground turkey until browned and fully cooked.
Break up the turkey into small pieces as it cooks for even browning.
Stir in the salsa, black beans, and corn into the skillet. Simmer for 10 minutes.
Simmering allows the flavors to meld together beautifully.
Spread the crushed tortilla chips evenly on the bottom of the prepared baking dish.
Ensure an even layer for a consistent base.
Spoon the turkey mixture over the tortilla chips, spreading it out evenly.
Spread gently to avoid displacing the chips.
Spread the sour cream over the turkey mixture, then sprinkle with black olives, green onion, and diced tomato.
Distribute the toppings evenly for a balanced flavor in every bite.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes. Sprinkle cheddar cheese on top and bake for an additional 5 minutes until melted.
Keep an eye on the cheese to ensure it melts without overcooking.
Let the casserole cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy your delicious Tex-Mex creation!
Allowing the casserole to cool slightly makes it easier to serve.
