1 (15 ounce) can black beans, drained and rinsed
1 (15 ounce) can corn, drained
1 (10.5 ounce) can cream of chicken soup
1 cup sour cream
1 (10 ounce) bag tortilla chips, crushed
2 cups shredded Mexican cheese (cheddar, Monterey Jack, or a combination)

1 (4 ounce) can diced green chiles (optional)
For garnish (optional):
Chopped fresh cilantro

Prepare the filling:
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
In a large skillet over medium-high heat, cook the ground beef until browned and no longer pink, breaking it up with a spoon as it cooks. Drain off any excess fat.
Add the chopped onion to the skillet and cook until tender, about 3-4 minutes.
Stir in the taco seasoning and cook for another minute, until fragrant.
Add the chopped tomatoes to the skillet along with the green chiles, black beans, corn, cream of chicken soup, and sour cream. Stir to combine and let sit until heated through, about 5 minutes.
Assemble the dish:
Spread half of the crushed tortilla chips evenly across the bottom of the prepared baking dish.
Pour the beef mixture over the chips, spreading it evenly.
Sprinkle the remaining crushed tortilla chips over the beef mixture. Sprinkle the shredded cheese evenly over the chips.
If using, sprinkle chopped black olives and chopped green peppers on top.
Bake:
Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the dish is heated through.
Serve:
Remove the dish from the oven and let stand for 5 minutes before serving. Garnish with fresh cilantro, chopped green onions, diced tomatoes, and additional sour cream, if desired.
