• Add salsa, olives and 1 1/2 cups of the cheese to beef mixture; stir gently to combine. Spoon into ungreased 13x9-inch (3-quart) glass baking dish.
• Place tortilla chips in resealable food-storage plastic bag; seal bag and crush with rolling pin or flat side of meat mallet until coarse crumbs form. Add melted butter; seal bag and shake until combined. Sprinkle over beef mixture. Top with remaining 1 1/2 cups cheese.
