Ingredients

• 12 ounces tortilla chips
• 1 pound ground beef
• 2 tablespoons taco seasoning
• 1 cup water
• 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
• 1 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese
• 1 cup canned black beans, drained and rinsed
• 1 cup pico de gallo
• 1 quarter cup sliced pickled jalapeños
• 0.5 cup sour cream
• 0.5 cup guacamole
• 0.25 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
• 0.5 cup diced tomatoes
• 0.25 cup sliced black olives

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until browned, about 6-8 minutes. Drain any excess fat.

Step 3

Add the taco seasoning and water to the skillet with the cooked beef. Stir to combine and let simmer for 5 minutes, or until the mixture thickens slightly. Remove from heat.

Step 4

Spread the tortilla chips evenly on a large, rimmed baking sheet or oven-safe platter.

Step 5

Evenly distribute the seasoned beef and black beans over the tortilla chips.

Step 6

Sprinkle the shredded cheddar and Monterey Jack cheeses over the beef and beans to cover them generously.

Step 7

Place the nachos in the preheated oven and bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the cheese is completely melted and bubbly.

Step 8

Remove the nachos from the oven and immediately top with pico de gallo, diced tomatoes, pickled jalapeños, and sliced black olives.

Step 9

Dollop spoonfuls of sour cream and guacamole across the nachos.

Step 10

Garnish with freshly chopped cilantro for a burst of flavor and color.

Step 11

Serve the Mucho Nachos immediately, straight from the baking sheet or platter, with extra toppings on the side if desired.
