- 1 tsp Black pepper
- 1 tsp Garlic powder
- 1 tsp Onion powder
- 1 tsp Paprika
- 1 cup Beef broth
- 12 oz Tortilla chips
- 2 cups Shredded cheddar cheese
- 1.5 cups Shredded Monterey Jack cheese
- 1 cup Black beans (drained and rinsed)
- 0.5 cup Pickled jalapeños (optional)

Instructions
Season the beef chuck roast with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika.
Heat the olive oil over medium-high heat in a large skillet or Dutch oven. Sear the seasoned beef on both sides until browned, about 3-4 minutes per side.
Transfer the seared beef to a slow cooker and pour in the beef broth. Cover and cook on low for 6-8 hours or on high for 3-4 hours, until the beef is tender and easily shreds with a fork.
Shred the beef using two forks, discarding any excess fat. Keep the beef warm.
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Spread the tortilla chips evenly on a large baking sheet or oven-safe platter.
Sprinkle half of the shredded cheddar and Monterey Jack cheeses over the chips.
Top with shredded beef, black beans, and pickled jalapeños (if using).
Sprinkle the remaining cheese on top.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the cheese is fully melted and bubbly.
Remove the nachos from the oven and let them cool slightly before adding the fresh toppings.
Top the nachos with diced tomatoes, red onions, guacamole, sour cream, and a sprinkle of chopped cilantro.
Serve immediately with fresh lime wedges on the side for squeezing over the nachos.
