In a large oven safe skillet cook the ground beef, onions, and peppers until the beef is cooked through.

Add the garlic, salt and pepper and cook this for another minute.

Turn off the heat and sprinkle the cheese evenly over the top of the casserole mixture.

Add the crumbled tortilla chips to the top and bake for 15 minutes, or until the casserole is bubbly. I used half plain tortilla and half nacho cheese tortillas.

Remove the casserole from the oven and let it sit for about 10 minutes before serving. Enjoy!

Note: You can add rice to this casserole if you have some on hand and if you want to change the top up some mix up some mexican corn bread batter and pour that over the top.

I like to serve this with a side of avocados and sour cream.
