Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Line a large baking sheet with aluminum foil or parchment paper for easy cleanup.

Step 3

Spread an even layer of tortilla chips across the prepared baking sheet. Make sure the chips are slightly overlapping, but not piled too heavily, to allow for even cooking.

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

Step 5

If using, evenly scatter the cooked ground beef or chicken and black beans over the cheese layer.

Step 6

Top with the remaining shredded cheese, followed by the sliced jalapeños, diced tomatoes, and half of the chopped green onions.

Step 7

Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the cheese is fully melted and bubbly.

Step 8

Remove the nachos from the oven and allow them to cool slightly for 2 minutes.

Step 9

Garnish with the freshly chopped cilantro and the remaining green onions.

Step 10

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