Ingredients

Scale
  • Tortilla chips (sturdy, thick-cut, store-bought or homemade)
  • 2 cups (200g) shredded sharp cheddar and Monterey Jack cheese blend
  • 1/2 pound (225g) ground beef or turkey, cooked and seasoned with taco spices (optional)
  • 1/2 cup (120ml) black beans, rinsed and drained
  • 1 medium fresh tomato, diced
  • 1–2 jalapeños, sliced thinly, seeds removed for less heat
  • 1/4 cup (40g) finely chopped red onion
  • A handful of chopped cilantro
  • 1/2 cup (120ml) sour cream
  • Sliced green onions (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil or butter
  • 1 tablespoon taco seasoning (store-bought or homemade)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) to crisp the chips.
  2. In a skillet over medium heat, brown 1/2 pound (225g) ground beef or turkey. Add 1 tablespoon taco seasoning and a splash of water, stirring until fully cooked and coated (~8 minutes). Drain excess fat if needed.
  3. While the meat cooks, dice tomatoes, slice jalapeños, chop red onion and cilantro, and slice green onions. Set aside.
  4. Spread tortilla chips in a single layer on a rimmed baking sheet. Drizzle 1 tablespoon olive oil or melted butter over chips and toss gently to coat.
  5. Sprinkle half of the shredded cheese (about 1 cup/100g) evenly over the chips. Add cooked meat and black beans (1/2 cup/120ml), then sprinkle remaining cheese on top.
  6. Bake in the oven for 8–10 minutes until cheese melts and bubbles, and chips are golden and crispy. Watch carefully to avoid burning.
  7. Remove from oven and scatter diced tomatoes, jalapeños, red onions, cilantro, and green onions on top.
  8. Dollop sour cream over the nachos or serve on the side. Optionally add guacamole or salsa. Serve immediately for best crunch and melty cheese.

Notes

For crispier chips, bake chips alone for 5 minutes before adding toppings. Layer cheese on bottom and top to keep chips crispy and toppings in place. Avoid broiling to prevent burnt cheese. Add fresh toppings after baking to maintain brightness and crunch. Reheat leftovers in a hot oven to restore crispness, avoid microwaving.
