Ingredients

• 10 cups Tortilla chips
• 2 cups Shredded cheddar cheese
• 2 cups Shredded Monterey Jack cheese
• 1 pound Ground beef
• 1 packet Taco seasoning
• 1 cup Canned black beans (drained and rinsed)
• 1 cup Canned corn (drained)
• 1 cup Diced tomatoes
• 0.5 cup Sliced black olives
• 0.5 cup Chopped green onions
• 2 whole Fresh jalapeños (sliced)
• 0.25 cup Cilantro (chopped)
• 1 cup Sour cream
• 1 cup Guacamole
• 2 tablespoons Butter
• 2 tablespoons All-purpose flour
• 1.5 cups Whole milk
• 2 teaspoons Hot sauce

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 browned, breaking it into small pieces with a spatula. Drain any excess fat.

Step 3

Stir the taco seasoning into the cooked beef along with 1/4 cup of water. Let it simmer for 2-3 minutes until fully incorporated. Remove from heat and set aside.

Step 4

Arrange the tortilla chips in an even layer on a large, oven-safe tray or baking sheet.

Step 5

Layer half of the shredded cheddar and Monterey Jack cheeses over the chips. Add the cooked ground beef, black beans, corn, diced tomatoes, and black olives.

Step 6

Sprinkle the remaining shredded cheeses on top of the layered ingredients.

Step 7

Place the tray in the oven and bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the cheese is fully melted and bubbling.

Step 8

Meanwhile, in a small saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Whisk in the all-purpose flour and cook for 1 minute to form a roux.

Step 9

Gradually whisk in the milk, stirring constantly to prevent lumps. Cook until the mixture thickens, about 3-4 minutes.

Step 10

Lower the heat to low, stir in 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese, and add the hot sauce. Stir until smooth to create a creamy cheese sauce.

Step 11

Remove the nachos from the oven. Drizzle the cheese sauce evenly over the top.

Step 12

Garnish the nachos with sliced jalapeños, chopped green onions, and fresh cilantro.

Step 13

Serve immediately with sour cream and guacamole on the side for dipping.
