Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 ounces low sodium tortilla chips
- 1 pound ground beef
- 2 tablespoons low sodium taco seasoning
- 1 cup low sodium black beans, drained and rinsed
- 2 cups low sodium shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 whole medium tomato, diced
- 3 whole green onions, sliced
- 1 whole avocado, diced
- 0.25 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
- 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
- 0.5 cup sour cream
- 1 whole jalapeño, sliced
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a large skillet, cook the ground beef over medium heat until browned, approximately 7-10 minutes. Drain excess fat.
Add the low sodium taco seasoning to the ground beef, and mix thoroughly to coat evenly.
Spread the low sodium tortilla chips evenly on a large baking sheet.
Top the chips with the seasoned ground beef, ensuring even distribution.
Add the low sodium black beans over the beef.
Sprinkle the low sodium shredded cheddar cheese over the mixture generously.
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the cheese is completely melted.
While the nachos are baking, prepare the toppings by dicing the tomato and avocado, slicing the green onions, and chopping the cilantro.
Once the cheese has melted, remove the nachos from the oven.
Scatter the diced tomato, avocado, green onions, and cilantro evenly over the nachos.
Drizzle the fresh lime juice over the top for added flavor.
Serve the nachos with sour cream on the side and garnish with sliced jalapeños if desired.
