Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 ounces (225 g) tortilla chips (thick, sturdy ones)
  • 1 pound (450 g) ground beef (85% lean)
  • 1 cup (170 g) canned black beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 2 cups (200 g) shredded sharp cheddar cheese
  • 2 medium fresh jalapeños, sliced
  • 1 cup (150 g) chopped tomatoes
  • 1/2 cup (50 g) sliced green onions
  • Fresh cilantro (optional)
  • 3 tablespoons honey
  • 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
  • 2 tablespoons mayonnaise (or Greek yogurt for lighter option)
  • 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add ground beef and cook, breaking it up with a spatula, until no longer pink, about 6-8 minutes.
  3. Season the beef with chili powder, ground cumin, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Stir well and cook for another 2 minutes.
  4. Add black beans to the skillet and cook for 2 more minutes until heated through. Remove from heat.
  5. In a small bowl, whisk together honey, Dijon mustard, mayonnaise (or Greek yogurt), and apple cider vinegar. Adjust sweetness or tang to taste and set aside.
  6. On a large baking sheet or oven-safe platter, spread a layer of tortilla chips.
  7. Evenly distribute the seasoned beef and bean mixture over the chips.
  8. Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese over the beef mixture.
  9. Add sliced jalapeños, chopped tomatoes, and sliced green onions on top.
  10. Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly. Watch closely to avoid burning the chips.
  11. Remove from oven, drizzle the honey mustard sauce evenly on top, and sprinkle fresh cilantro if using.
  12. Serve immediately.

Notes

Use thick, sturdy tortilla chips to hold up under toppings. For gluten-free, use certified gluten-free chips and seasoning. For dairy-free, substitute cheddar with vegan cheese and mayonnaise with vegan mayo or coconut yogurt. To keep chips crisp, layer chips between toppings and avoid piling wet ingredients directly on chips without cheese in between. Prepare honey mustard drizzle ahead and chill for better flavor melding.
