Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the ground beef and cook until browned and fully cooked, about 6-8 minutes. Drain excess fat if necessary.
Stir in the taco seasoning and water, mixing well. Let the mixture simmer for 2-3 minutes until slightly thickened. Remove from heat.
Arrange the tortilla chips in a single layer on a large, oven-safe baking sheet or platter.
Sprinkle half of the shredded cheddar cheese and Monterey Jack cheese over the chips.
Evenly distribute the cooked ground beef over the cheese-covered chips.
Add black beans (drained and rinsed) evenly across the top.
Sprinkle the remaining cheese over the top of the meat and beans.
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 5-7 minutes, or until the cheese is fully melted and bubbly.
Remove the nachos from the oven and let them cool for 1-2 minutes.
Top the nachos with sour cream, diced tomatoes, sliced jalapeños (if using), green onions, and chopped cilantro (optional).
Serve immediately with guacamole on the side and lime wedges for squeezing over the top.
