Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 bag tortilla chips
  • 1 lb ground beef or chicken
  • 1 packet taco seasoning
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 1 can (15 oz) black beans, rinsed and drained
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese
  • 1/2 cup chopped red onion
  • 1/2 cup chopped bell pepper
  • 1/4 cup sliced jalapeños (optional)
  • For serving: sour cream, salsa, guacamole, chopped cilantro

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Brown the ground beef or chicken in a skillet over medium heat. Drain any excess fat.
  3. Stir in the taco seasoning and water. Simmer for 5 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened.
  4. Spread the tortilla chips in a single layer on a large baking sheet.
  5. Spoon the seasoned meat mixture evenly over the chips.
  6. Scatter the black beans, red onion, and bell pepper over the meat.
  7. Top with the shredded cheddar and Monterey Jack cheeses.
  8. Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  9. Add jalapeños if using, and bake for 1-2 minutes more.
  10. Remove from oven and serve immediately with your favorite toppings.

Notes

  • For crispier chips, use baked tortilla chips or make your own by cutting corn tortillas into wedges and baking them until crisp.
  • If you prefer a healthier option, use baked chips and top with plenty of vegetables. Consider Greek yogurt instead of sour cream.
  • You can customize your nachos with other protein options like shredded chicken, pulled pork, or seasoned tofu.
  • Add toppings like corn, pico de gallo, or pickled onions for extra flavor.
