Ingredients

Scale
  • Thick, sturdy tortilla chips (about 10-12 oz recommended)
  • 1 pound (450g) lean or 80/20 ground beef
  • 1 cup (100g) shredded sharp cheddar cheese
  • 1 cup (100g) shredded Monterey Jack cheese (or mozzarella for milder option)
  • 1 can (15 oz/425g) black beans, rinsed and drained
  • 2 medium fresh tomatoes, diced (Roma or vine-ripened)
  • 12 jalapeños, sliced thin (adjust for heat preference)
  • 1/2 cup (75g) sliced black olives (optional)
  • 1 small red onion, finely chopped
  • 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
  • 1/2 cup (120ml) sour cream
  • 1/2 cup (120ml) guacamole (store-bought or homemade)
  • 1/2 cup (120ml) salsa (chunky or smooth)
  • 1 tsp chili powder
  • 1/2 tsp cumin
  • 1/2 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1/4 tsp garlic powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 tbsp olive oil for cooking beef

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add ground beef, breaking it up with a spoon.
  3. Sprinkle chili powder, cumin, smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper over the beef. Cook for 7-9 minutes until browned and cooked through, stirring occasionally. Drain excess fat if needed.
  4. While beef cooks, dice tomatoes, slice jalapeños and olives, chop red onion and cilantro, shred cheese if needed, and rinse and drain black beans.
  5. Spread half the tortilla chips evenly on a large oven-safe baking sheet.
  6. Sprinkle half the black beans, half the cooked beef, half the cheese blend, and a few jalapeño slices over the chips.
  7. Repeat layering with remaining chips, beans, beef, and cheese.
  8. Bake for 10-12 minutes until cheese is bubbly and melted, watching closely after 8 minutes to avoid burning.
  9. Remove from oven and sprinkle diced tomatoes, olives, red onion, and cilantro over the hot nachos.
  10. Add dollops of sour cream, guacamole, and salsa across the top.
  11. Serve immediately for best crunch and flavor.

Notes

Layer toppings rather than dumping all at once to avoid soggy chips. Use a mix of sharp cheddar and Monterey Jack for best melt and flavor. Drain excess fat from beef to prevent oily nachos. Preheat oven fully before baking. For extra smoky flavor, add chipotle powder to beef. Serve immediately for best texture. Leftovers keep up to 2 days refrigerated; reheat in oven to maintain crispness.
