Preparation

Step 1

1. Heat oven to 450 degrees. Sprinkle 1/4 cup of the crushed tortilla chips evenly in bottom of 9-inch pie pan. Prepare pie crust as directed on package for one-crust baked shell. Sprinkle remaining 1/4 cup crushed tortilla chips over crust; gently press into crust. Generously prick crust with fork.
2. Bake at 450 for 9 to 11 minutes or until crust is light golden brown. Cool. Carefully stand 1 row of whole tortilla chips around inside edge of baked shell.
3. Meanwhile, brown ground beef in large skillet over medium-high heat until thoroughly cooked. Drain. Add chili beans, 1 cup of the cheese and salsa; mix well. Cook over low heat for 2 to 3 minutes or until beans are heated and cheese is melted. Spoon into cooled baked shell.
4. Top with lettuce, remaining 1/2 cup cheese, tomato, onion, sour cream and olives. Serve immediately.
