Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 ounces tortilla chips
- 1 pound shredded cooked chicken or ground beef
- 2 tablespoons taco seasoning
- 0.25 cup water
- 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese
- 1 cup black beans, drained and rinsed
- 1 cup diced tomatoes or salsa
- 0.25 cup sliced black olives
- 0.25 cup chopped green onions
- 2 tablespoons chopped cilantro (optional)
- 0.5 cup sour cream
- 0.5 cup guacamole
- 4 units lime wedges for serving
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
If using ground beef, heat a skillet over medium heat. Cook the ground beef until browned and fully cooked, breaking it up with a spoon as it cooks. Drain any excess grease. Add taco seasoning and 1/4 cup water. Stir and simmer until the liquid is absorbed, about 3 minutes.
If using shredded cooked chicken, heat the chicken in a skillet over medium heat and mix with 2 tablespoons of taco seasoning. Optionally, add 1/4 cup water for extra moisture and cook for 2 minutes until heated through.
Spread the tortilla chips evenly on a large baking sheet or oven-safe platter.
Spoon the cooked chicken or beef evenly over the tortilla chips.
Sprinkle black beans over the chips, followed by the shredded cheddar and Monterey Jack cheeses.
Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Remove the nachos from the oven and top with diced tomatoes or salsa, sliced black olives, chopped green onions, and cilantro if desired.
Serve immediately with dollops of sour cream and guacamole on the side. Garnish with lime wedges for an extra zesty flavor.
