Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 ounces tortilla chips
- 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 ounce taco seasoning
- 0.25 cup water
- 1 cup black beans
- 0.25 cup jalapeño peppers, sliced
- 0.5 cup sour cream
- 0.5 cup guacamole
- 1 cup diced tomatoes
- 0.25 cup green onions, sliced
- 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped
- 4 pieces lime wedges
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until browned, breaking it up into small pieces with a wooden spoon.
Add the taco seasoning and 1/4 cup of water to the skillet with the beef. Stir well to combine and simmer for 2-3 minutes until the mixture is thickened. Remove from heat.
On a large, oven-safe platter or baking sheet, spread out the tortilla chips in an even layer.
Sprinkle half of the shredded cheddar and Monterey Jack cheeses evenly over the chips.
Evenly distribute the cooked ground beef and black beans over the chips and cheese.
Add the remaining cheddar and Monterey Jack cheeses over the top.
Place the nachos in the preheated oven and bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the cheese is fully melted and bubbly.
Remove the tray from the oven and immediately add the fresh toppings: sliced jalapeños, diced tomatoes, green onions, and chopped cilantro.
Top with sour cream and guacamole, or serve them on the side for dipping.
Garnish with lime wedges for squeezing over the nachos just before serving.
Serve the Kick Off Nachos hot and enjoy while cheering your favorite team!
