Preparation

Preparation Steps

1. Cook the Beef

In a large skillet over medium heat, brown the ground beef, breaking it apart as it cooks until fully cooked. Drain excess fat.

2. Sauté Vegetables

Add the diced bell peppers and onions to the skillet with the beef. Sauté until the vegetables are tender, about 5 minutes.

3. Assemble Nachos

On a large baking sheet, spread a layer of tortilla chips. Top with the beef mixture, black bean chili, Monterey Jack cheese, and cheddar cheese.

4. Melt the Cheese

Place the baking sheet in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) and bake for about 10 minutes or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

5. Add Toppings

Remove from the oven and drizzle with chili con queso. Top with green onions, sour cream, pico de gallo, and salsa.

6. Serve

Serve immediately and enjoy your Beef Lava Nachos!
