Optional but tasty:
- barbecue sauce for serving
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F.
- Swirl 1 teaspoon of the oil into a heavy-bottomed skillet over medium-high heat.

Cook the mixture, stirring frequently, until the onion is mostly translucent, 3 to 4 minutes. Remove the pan from the heat.
- Scoop the onion mixture into a separate bowl and then add about 1/3 of the tortilla chips to the pan.Sprinkle 1/3 of the cheese, 1/3 of the onion mixture, 1/3 of the beef, and then repeat the layers until you've used everything up.
- Slide the pan into the oven and bake for 15 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden brown in places on top. Serve hot or warm with a bottle of barbecue sauce.
