Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F and spray a 13×9 baking dish with nonstick cooking spray.
In a large skillet over medium heat, brown the ground beef until nearly cooked through. Add chopped onions and continue cooking until soft.
Stir in taco seasoning and water; bring to a boil then reduce heat.
Mix in black beans, diced tomatoes, and sour cream; cook for about 8-10 minutes until warmed.
Layer the casserole: begin with Fritos on the bottom, followed by half of the cheese and the beef mixture. Top with remaining cheese.
