Ingredients

• 2 cups Shredded cheddar cheese
• 1 cup Shredded Monterey Jack cheese
• 1 cup Canned black beans (rinsed and drained)
• 1 cup Cooked ground beef or shredded chicken (optional)
• 1 Fresh jalapeño (thinly sliced)
• 0.75 cup Diced tomatoes
• 0.5 cup Diced red onion
• 0.25 cup Chopped fresh cilantro
• 0.5 cup Sour cream
• 0.5 cup Guacamole (optional)
• 1 Fresh lime
• 1 teaspoon Olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon Paprika
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Prepare a large baking sheet by lightly greasing it with olive oil or lining it with parchment paper.

Step 3

Spread the tortilla chips evenly across the baking sheet in a single layer. For extra cheesy nachos, slightly overlap the chips.

Step 4

In a small bowl, mix the black beans with ground cumin, paprika, salt, and black pepper to season them.

Step 5

Sprinkle half of the shredded cheddar cheese and Monterey Jack cheese over the chips.

Step 6

Scatter the seasoned black beans, cooked ground beef or shredded chicken (if using), diced tomatoes, and diced red onion evenly across the chips.

Step 7

Add the fresh jalapeño slices on top for a spicy kick.

Step 8

Sprinkle the remaining cheese evenly over the toppings.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes or until the cheese is fully melted and bubbly.

Step 10

Carefully remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the nachos cool for 1-2 minutes.

Step 11

Before serving, garnish the nachos with freshly chopped cilantro and a squeeze of fresh lime juice for added brightness.

Step 12

Serve immediately with dollops of sour cream and guacamole on the side.
