Nachos Ingredients

Method

Preparation Steps

  1. 1

    Cook the Ground Beef

    In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the ground beef and cook, breaking it apart with a spatula until browned, about 5-7 minutes.

  2. 2

    Season the Meat

    Once the beef is browned, drain excess fat if necessary, and add taco seasoning. Stir well to coat the meat and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the seasoning is fragrant.

  3. 3

    Prepare the Nacho Base

    Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). On a large baking sheet, spread the tortilla chips evenly.

  4. 4

    Layer the Ingredients

    Evenly distribute the cooked ground beef over the tortilla chips. Then, sprinkle the black beans and shredded cheddar cheese over the top.

  5. 5

    Add Jalapeños

    Scatter sliced jalapeños over the cheese layer according to your preference.

  6. 6

    Bake the Nachos

    Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

  7. 7

    Garnish and Serve

    Remove the nachos from the oven, and top with dollops of sour cream and guacamole. Sprinkle chopped cilantro over the top for added freshness. Serve immediately.
