Heat oil in skillet and brown meat. Once done, add onion. Cook until translucent - 7-10 minutes then add seasoning and water. Remove from heat. Spray a 9x13 baking dish with cooking spray. Line with half the chips. Top with meat then beans, then cheese and then remaining chips . Combine rotel and sour cream and pour over chips. Bake on 350 for 30-40 minutes until cheese is melted and casserole is heated through. If making ahead, bake 30 minutes covered and 30 minutes uncovered.
