- 1 (10 oz) bag Fritos corn chips
- 1 cup shredded Mexican blend cheese
- For the top: shredded lettuce and chopped tomatoes

- Place the ground beef and onion in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook until the beef is cooked through and the onion is soft.
- Add the taco seasoning, tomato sauce, undrained can of corn, olives, and beef broth. Stir to combine and let cook for 3 minutes.

Notes
Remember not to drain the corn! The liquid goes into the casserole for this recipe.
Don't like olives? You can leave them out.
You can substitute defrosted frozen corn (1 cup) for the canned corn. Add ⅓ cup water along with the corn if you're using frozen corn.
Make it ahead: you can assemble the casserole up to 24 hours in advance. Cover and refrigerator it until you're ready to bake it. Add 5 minutes to the baking time.
