Ingredients

• 8 cups tortilla chips
• 1 pound ground beef
• 1 packet taco seasoning
• 2/3 cup water
• 2 cups shredded Mexican blend cheese
• 1 cup black beans, rinsed and drained
• 1/4 cup jalapeño slices (optional)
• 1 cup diced tomatoes
• 1/2 cup diced red onion
• 1/2 cup sour cream
• 1/2 cup guacamole
• 2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
• 4 pieces lime wedges
• 1 sheet aluminum foil

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your grill to medium heat (about 350°F).

Step 2

In a skillet over medium-high heat, cook the ground beef until browned, breaking it apart with a spoon. Drain any excess grease.

Step 3

Add the taco seasoning and 2/3 cup of water to the cooked beef. Stir well and simmer for 3-4 minutes until the mixture thickens. Remove from heat.

Step 4

Lay a large sheet of aluminum foil (about 18 inches by 12 inches) on a flat surface. Fold up the edges slightly to create a shallow tray.

Step 5

Spread half of the tortilla chips evenly on the foil tray. Sprinkle half of the shredded cheese on top.

Step 6

Add an even layer of the seasoned ground beef, followed by the black beans, jalapeño slices (if using), diced tomatoes, and diced red onions. Then, top with the remaining tortilla chips.

Step 7

Sprinkle the remaining shredded cheese over the top layer of chips.

Step 8

Carefully place the foil tray on the preheated grill. Close the grill lid and cook for 8-10 minutes, or until the cheese is fully melted and the nachos are warmed through.

Step 9

Use tongs to carefully remove the foil tray from the grill. Let cool slightly.

Step 10

Top the grilled nachos with dollops of sour cream, guacamole, and a sprinkle of fresh cilantro.

Step 11

Serve immediately with lime wedges on the side for a fresh, zesty kick.
