• 2 tablespoons taco seasoning
• 1 cup water
• 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
• 1 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until fully browned, breaking it apart as it cooks (about 5-7 minutes).

Step 3

Drain any excess grease from the skillet, then stir in the taco seasoning and water. Simmer for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mixture thickens.

On a large, oven-safe platter or baking sheet, spread half of the tortilla chips into an even layer.

Step 5

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

Step 6

Layer half of the seasoned ground beef, black beans, corn, and sliced jalapeños on top of the cheese layer.

Step 7

Repeat the layers with the remaining tortilla chips, cheese, ground beef, black beans, corn, and jalapeños.

Step 8

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

Step 9

Remove the nachos from the oven and let them cool slightly before adding fresh toppings.

Step 10

Top the nachos with diced tomatoes, red onions, a sprinkle of chopped cilantro, dollops of sour cream, and guacamole. Serve with lime wedges on the side for an added zing!
