Ingredients
Scale
Beef and Beans Mixture
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 small onion, diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon taco seasoning
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 (14 oz) can black beans, rinsed and drained
Nachos Assembly
- 1 (10 oz) bag tortilla chips
- 2 cups shredded cheddar or Mexican blend cheese
- 1/2 cup diced tomatoes
- 1/4 cup sliced black olives
- 1/4 cup pickled jalapeños (optional)
- 1/4 cup chopped green onions
- 1/4 cup sour cream
- 1/4 cup guacamole or diced avocado
- Fresh cilantro for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat and Cook Beef: Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add ground beef and cook until browned, about 5–6 minutes, breaking it apart as it cooks to ensure even browning.
- Sauté Aromatics: Add diced onion and minced garlic to the skillet with the beef. Sauté for 2–3 minutes until the onion softens and becomes translucent, infusing the beef with flavor.
- Season and Add Beans: Stir in taco seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Then add the rinsed and drained black beans. Cook for another 2 minutes to combine the flavors, then remove the skillet from heat.
- Assemble Nachos: Spread the tortilla chips evenly on a large baking sheet or oven-safe platter. Spoon the beef and bean mixture evenly over the chips. Sprinkle shredded cheese generously over the top.
- Bake Until Melty: Place the assembled nachos in the preheated oven and bake for 8–10 minutes or until the cheese is fully melted and bubbly, indicating the nachos are heated through.
- Add Fresh Toppings: Remove the nachos from the oven. Top with diced tomatoes, sliced black olives, pickled jalapeños if using, and chopped green onions for freshness and texture.
- Finish and Serve: Dollop sour cream and guacamole or diced avocado over the nachos. Garnish with fresh cilantro if desired. Serve immediately for the best flavor and crispness.
Notes
- Customize with your favorite toppings like corn, salsa, or queso to vary flavor and texture.
- For a spicier kick, add cayenne pepper to the beef mixture or use hot jalapeños instead of pickled ones.
- These nachos are best served hot and fresh to maintain crispness of the chips and melted cheese texture.
