This came from a recipe card my mom got in the mail. It is really easy, and really good.
1 egg white, beaten
1 pound lean ground beef
3/4 cup chopped onion
1 clove garlic, minced
1 can (15 oz) red kidney beans, drained
1/2 cup tomato salsa
1-2 tsp chili powder
3/4 tsp salt
2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
1 medium tomato, diced
sour cream (optional)
guacamole (optional)
Preheat oven to 400. Coat a 10-inch glass pie plate with cooking spray. Crush tortilla chips into small pieces.
Mix tortilla chips with egg white and press evenly into pie plate to form a crust. Bake until crisp, about 15 min.
Brown the beef, onion and garlic in a medium nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Mix in the kidney beans, salsa, chili powder and salt. Simmer 10 minutes.
Stir 1/2 cup shredded cheese into the beef mixture; pour the mixture into the baked crust. Top with the remaining cheese, lettuce and tomato. Serve with sour cream and guacamole, if desired.

Made this for dinner tonight, it was really good. My two year old loved smashing the chips up for the crust.
My variations:
Used ground turkey instead of the beef.
Added about 1/2 cup pureed carrots into the simmering mixture.
Used (about) 3/4 cup "Southwest Salsa" (the kind with beans and corn).
