- 1 bag of tortilla chips
- 2 cups of shredded cheese (a mix of cheddar and Monterey Jack is best)
- 1 lb of ground beef
- 1 can of black beans, drained and rinsed
- 1 large tomato, diced
- 1/2 red onion, diced
- 1 jalapeno, sliced
- 1/2 cup of sour cream
- 1/4 cup of chopped cilantro
- Salt and pepper to taste
Start by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C), setting the stage for perfectly melted cheese goodness.
In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until browned. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Drain off any excess fat.
On a baking sheet or ovenproof dish, spread out half the tortilla chips. Scatter half the cooked ground beef, black beans, diced tomato, red onion, sliced jalapeno, and finally, sprinkle one cup of shredded cheese over the top. Repeat with a second layer.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbling and the chips begin to turn golden.
Remove the nachos from the oven and top with dollops of sour cream, sprinkles of chopped cilantro, and any other toppings you love. Serve immediately and enjoy the crunch with each bite!
