Ingredients

• 300 grams tortilla chips
• 500 grams ground beef
• 2 tablespoons taco seasoning
• 60 milliliters water
• 200 grams cheddar cheese, shredded
• 100 grams Monterey Jack cheese, shredded
• 400 grams black beans, drained and rinsed
• 2 jalapeños, sliced
• 2 avocados, diced
• 1 tomato, diced
• 3 green onions, chopped
• 30 grams fresh cilantro, chopped
• 120 grams sour cream
• 1 lime, cut into wedges
• 1 pinch salt

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).

Step 2

In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until browned, about 5-7 minutes.

Step 3

Drain excess fat if necessary, then add the taco seasoning and water to the beef. Stir to combine, allowing the seasoning to coat the beef evenly. Cook for another 2 minutes, then remove from heat.

Step 4

Spread the tortilla chips evenly over a large baking sheet or oven-safe platter.

Step 5

Evenly distribute the cooked beef over the chips, followed by the black beans, ensuring an even layer across the top.

Step 6

Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese and Monterey Jack cheese evenly over the beef and chips.

Step 7

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

Step 8

While the nachos are baking, prepare the toppings: dice the avocados and tomatoes, slice the jalapeños, and chop the green onions and cilantro.

Step 9

Once the nachos are ready, remove them from the oven and add the fresh toppings: avocado, tomato, jalapeños, green onions, cilantro, and a pinch of salt.

Step 10

Drizzle with sour cream and serve with lime wedges on the side for squeezing over the top.

Step 11

Serve immediately, ensuring everyone gets a hearty portion of toppings with each bite.
