Combine beans, seasonings, and tomato sauce in the skillet with the meat.
Stir and simmer it for a few minutes.
When hot, place in a 9\" by 13\" pan.
Sprinkle with cheese and top with tortilla chips.
Push some of the chips down into the meat mixture (but not all the chips as they will get soggy).

We like to serve ours on a bed of lettuce. topped with salsa and sour cream.
