Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until browned, breaking it apart with a spatula. Drain any excess grease.
Add the taco seasoning and water to the beef. Stir and cook for 3-4 minutes until the mixture thickens. Set aside.
On a large oven-safe platter or baking sheet, spread out a single layer of tortilla chips.

Spoon half of the seasoned ground beef on top, followed by half the black beans.
Create another layer with more chips, the remaining cheeses, ground beef, and black beans.
Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes or until the cheese is completely melted and bubbly.
Remove from the oven and carefully transfer the nachos to a serving area.
