Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 ounces tortilla chips
- 1 pound ground beef
- 2 tablespoons taco seasoning
- 1 cup water
- 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese
- 1 cup canned black beans, drained and rinsed
- 1 cup pico de gallo
- 1 quarter cup sliced pickled jalapeños
- 0.5 cup sour cream
- 0.5 cup guacamole
- 0.25 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
- 0.5 cup diced tomatoes
- 0.25 cup sliced black olives
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until browned, about 6-8 minutes. Drain any excess fat.
Add the taco seasoning and water to the skillet with the cooked beef. Stir to combine and let simmer for 5 minutes, or until the mixture thickens slightly. Remove from heat.
Spread the tortilla chips evenly on a large, rimmed baking sheet or oven-safe platter.
Evenly distribute the seasoned beef and black beans over the tortilla chips.
Sprinkle the shredded cheddar and Monterey Jack cheeses over the beef and beans to cover them generously.
Place the nachos in the preheated oven and bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the cheese is completely melted and bubbly.
Remove the nachos from the oven and immediately top with pico de gallo, diced tomatoes, pickled jalapeños, and sliced black olives.
Dollop spoonfuls of sour cream and guacamole across the nachos.
Garnish with freshly chopped cilantro for a burst of flavor and color.
Serve the Mucho Nachos immediately, straight from the baking sheet or platter, with extra toppings on the side if desired.
