Ingredients

• 12 ounces Tortilla chips
• 2 cups Shredded cheddar cheese
• 1 cup Shredded Monterey Jack cheese
• 1 pound Ground beef
• 2 tablespoons Taco seasoning
• 1 cup Water
• 1 cup Black beans (drained and rinsed)
• 0.5 cup Pickled jalapeño slices
• 1 cup Diced tomatoes
• 0.5 cup Sour cream
• 0.5 cup Guacamole
• 0.25 cup Green onions (sliced)
• 0.25 cup Fresh cilantro (chopped)
• 1 teaspoon Hot sauce

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

In a large skillet over medium-high heat, cook the ground beef until browned, about 5-7 minutes. Break up the meat with a spoon as it cooks.

Step 3

Drain any excess grease from the skillet. Add the taco seasoning and water, stirring well to combine. Simmer for 2-3 minutes until the liquid reduces slightly and the beef is well-coated in seasoning. Set aside.

Step 4

Spread an even layer of tortilla chips on a large, oven-safe baking sheet or platter.

Step 5

Sprinkle half the shredded cheddar and Monterey Jack cheeses over the chips.

Step 6

Evenly distribute the cooked ground beef and black beans over the cheese layer.

Step 7

Top with the remaining shredded cheeses.

Step 8

Place the tray in the preheated oven and bake for 7-10 minutes, or until the cheese is fully melted and bubbly.

Step 9

Carefully remove the tray from the oven and immediately add the pickled jalapeño slices, diced tomatoes, sour cream (dollop in small spoonfuls), and guacamole.

Step 10

Sprinkle sliced green onions and chopped cilantro on top for a pop of freshness.

Step 11

Drizzle with hot sauce if desired, and serve immediately while warm.
