1
Cook the Fajita
In a skillet over medium-high heat, cook the steak or chicken for about 5-7 minutes until fully cooked. Season with fajita spices if desired, and then slice into thin strips.
2
Prepare the Black Beans
In a small saucepan, heat the rinsed black beans over medium heat until warmed through, about 3-5 minutes. Stir occasionally.
3
Arrange the Nachos
On a large baking sheet or oven-safe platter, spread the tortilla chips evenly. Layer the sliced fajita meat, black beans, and drizzle the chile con queso over the top.

4
Add Toppings
Once the nachos are arranged, top them with guacamole, sour cream, sliced jalapeños, and pico de gallo as desired.
5
Melt the Cheese
Place the nachos in an oven preheated to 350°F (175°C) for about 5-7 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

6
Serve
Carefully remove the nachos from the oven and let cool slightly. Serve immediately while warm and enjoy!
