### **Instructions:**
1. **Preheat the oven** to 350°F (175°C).
2. **Cook the beef** in a large skillet over medium heat. Add onion and cook until the beef is browned and the onions are soft. Drain excess grease.
3. **Add taco seasoning and water**, and stir to coat the beef. Simmer for 2–3 minutes until thickened.
4. **Mix in the Rotel, black beans, and corn**. Simmer another 5 minutes, then remove from heat.
5. **Layer the casserole**: In a greased 9×13 baking dish, spread a layer of corn chips on the bottom. Add the meat mixture on top, then sprinkle with shredded cheese.
6. **Bake uncovered** for 15–20 minutes, or until cheese is melted and bubbly.
7. **Top and serve**: Add your favorite taco toppings and more chips on top if desired. Serve hot and enjoy!
