1/2 cup crushed tortilla chips
1 Pillsbury® refrigerated pie crust (from
15 oz box)
1 Whole round tortilla chips

1/2 cup Old El Paso® Thick 'n Chunky salsa
1 cup chopped lettuce
1/2 cup chopped tomato (1 small)
1 green onion, sliced (1

Directions
Heat oven to 450°F. Sprinkle 1/4 cup of the

Sprinkle remaining 1/4 cup crushed tortilla chips

prick crust with fork.
Bake 9 to 11 minutes or until crust is light
golden brown. Cool slightly. Carefully stand 1 row of whole tortilla chips around inside edge of

Meanwhile, in 10-inch skillet, cook ground
beef over medium-high heat, stirring frequently,
until thoroughly cooked; drain. Stir in chili beans, 1 cup of the cheese and the salsa. Cook over low heat 2 to 3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until beans are heated and cheese is melted.
Spoon beef mixture into cooled baked
shell. Top with lettuce, remaining 1/2 cup
cheese, the tomato, onion, sour cream and
olives. Serve immediately.
