Steps

Preheat the oven to 375°F. Grease a deep 9x13-inch baking dish.

Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the beef and onion, cooking while breaking up with a spoon until no pink remains. Drain any fat.

Add the bell pepper, corn, ½ cup water, and taco seasoning. Stir and let simmer until the water mostly has evaporated, about 4 minutes. Stir in the salsa and remove from the heat.

Place half of the tortilla chips in the bottom of the dish. Spoon half of the beans in tablespoons over the tortilla chips. Top with half of the meat mixture and 1 cup of cheese. Repeat the layers with the remaining tortilla chips, bean mixture, meat mixture, and the remaining 2 cups of cheese.
