There is nothing fancy about this casserole but it’s quick, easy and very family friendly. Masa Chips are a favorite in my house. They are made with organic corn and grass fed tallow. We usually use them for snacking or topping bowls. Here, the crushed chips are the base for a hearty casserole- filled with beef, beans and corn. If I have kefir créme fraiche on hand it adds a deliciously creamy tangy layer but sour cream is also wonderful. Top with a layer of shredded cheese and bake until it’s all gooey and melty. And top with avocado and more Masa Chips!

* In the summer I like to use fresh corn. Boil in salted water for 5 minutes and cut off the cob. If fresh corn is not available use frozen.
