Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
Step 2
In a small bowl, mix the cooked ground beef or shredded chicken with olive oil, cumin, and paprika. Set it aside to evenly coat the meat with seasoning.
Step 3
Spread the tortilla chips evenly across the prepared baking sheet. Ensure that they do not overlap excessively for even topping distribution.
Step 4
Sprinkle half of the shredded cheddar cheese and Monterey Jack cheese over the chips.
Step 5
Add the seasoned ground beef or chicken, black beans, jalapeño slices, diced tomatoes, and red onion evenly over the chips and cheese.
Step 6
Top everything with the remaining shredded cheeses.
Step 7
Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the cheese is completely melted and bubbly.
Step 8
Carefully remove the nachos from the oven and let them cool slightly for 2 minutes.
Step 9
Drizzle sour cream and dollop guacamole on top of the nachos. Sprinkle with chopped cilantro for garnish.
Step 10
Serve immediately with extra guacamole or salsa on the side, if desired. Enjoy!
