Preheat your oven to 375°F. Saute the ground beef and onion in a large skillet over medium heat for 4-5 minutes until browned.
Add the can of diced tomatoes and chilis along with a ½ cup of water, then stir in the taco seasoning and simmer for 3-4 minutes until most of the liquid has evaporated. Add the corn and beans and cook for another 1-2 minutes.
Stir in ½ cup of sour cream and ½ cup of shredded cheese, then turn off the heat.
Transfer the meat mixture to a casserole dish and top with fritos corn chips and the remaining cheese, then cover with foil and place in the oven. Bake for 15 minutes, then remove the foil and bake for another 5 minutes.
Top with shredded lettuce, tomato, and the remaining sour cream, along with any other additional toppings then serve.
