Instructions

Preheat oven to 350°F degrees.

Heat a large, deep skillet over medium-high heat. Add ground beef and onion, cooking until no pink remains, about 4-5 minutes. Drain any fat.

Add garlic and jalapeno (if using). Cook for 1 minute more.

Stir in taco seasoning, black beans, green chiles, tomato paste and salsa. Cook for 3-4 minutes or until heated through.

Take off the heat and stir in 1 cup of shredded cheese.

Transfer the beef mixture to a 9x13-inch baking dish and top with remaining cheese.

Bake for 25 minutes, or until hot and bubbly and cheese is melted.

Top with desired toppings and serve.
