Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 ounces Tortilla chips
- 2 cups Shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 cup Shredded Monterey Jack cheese
- 1 pound Ground beef
- 2 tablespoons Taco seasoning
- 0.25 cup Water
- 1 cup Black beans (canned, drained and rinsed)
- 1 Fresh jalapeño (sliced)
- 1 cup Diced tomatoes
- 1 cup Sour cream
- 1 cup Guacamole
- 0.25 cup Green onions (sliced)
- 2 tablespoons Cilantro (chopped, optional)
- 0.25 cup Pickled jalapeños (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a large skillet, cook the ground beef over medium-high heat until browned and fully cooked, breaking it apart with a spatula or wooden spoon.
Sprinkle the taco seasoning over the cooked ground beef and stir in the water. Let it simmer for 2-3 minutes until the seasoning is fully incorporated and the mixture begins to thicken. Remove from heat.
On a large baking sheet or oven-safe platter, spread half of the tortilla chips to create a base layer.
Sprinkle half of the shredded cheddar cheese and half of the Monterey Jack cheese evenly over the chips.
Add half of the cooked ground beef, followed by half of the black beans, fresh jalapeño slices (if using), and diced tomatoes.
Repeat the layering process with the remaining chips, cheeses, ground beef, black beans, and toppings, ensuring an even distribution of ingredients.
Transfer the assembled nachos to the oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the cheese is fully melted and bubbly.
Remove the nachos from the oven and let them cool for about 2 minutes before adding the fresh toppings.
Top the nachos with dollops of sour cream and guacamole. Sprinkle sliced green onions, cilantro (if using), and pickled jalapeños over the nachos for extra flavor.
Serve the nachos immediately on the baking sheet or transfer to a serving platter. Pair with your favorite salsa or hot sauce on the side!
