Preheat the oven to 350ºF. Prepare a 9×13-inch glass pan by spraying it with nonstick cooking spray.
Crumble the ground meat into a large pan. Add onions and cook over medium heat, stirring often, until meat is completely browned. Drain off excess fat. Add seasoning mixture and water, simmer and cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring often.
Add enchilada sauce and beans; stir well.

Bake the pan at 350ºF for 18-20 minutes until hot and bubbly. Sprinkle the top of the pan with the remaining Fritos.
Cool slightly before serving. Serve with chopped green onions, sour cream and guacamole.
