Ingredients
- 1 (9 oz) bag tortilla chips
Meat filling
- 1 Tbsp olive oil
- 1/2 cup tomato sauce
- 1 lb. lean ground beef (85 - 90%)
- 1 (4 oz) can diced mild green chilis (or use hot if you like it spicy)
- 1 (15 oz) can black beans, drained and rinsed
- 1 (1.25 oz) pkg. low-sodium taco seasoning, such as Ortega (which has cornstarch to thicken)
Toppings
- 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese or monterey jack cheese* (I use a blend of 1 cup of each)
- 1 large avocado, diced (or sub guacamole)
- 1/3 cup sour cream or crema Mexicana
- 1 1/2 cups pico de gallo, homemade (see notes), or fresh store-bought
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
- Spread tortilla chips out into an even layer on a rimmed 18 by 13-inch baking sheet, set aside.
- Heat olive oil in a 12-inch non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Add beef in chunks and cook, and crumble tossing beef occasionally until cooked through, about 6 minutes. Drain fat.
- Stir in tomato sauce, black beans, green chiles and taco seasoning.
- Spoon mixture evenly over chips. Sprinkle both cheeses over ground beef layer.
- Bake in preheated oven until cheese is melted, about 5 - 7 minutes.
- Top with pico de gallo and avocados. Dollop with sour cream or drizzle with crema. Serve immediately.
Notes
- Homemade Pico de Gallo
- 2 cups pre-shredded Mexican cheese blend can be substituted for the cheddar and monterey jack.
- Makes about 8 servings for a party appetizer or 6 dinner servings. Nutrition estimate based on 8 servings.
- 3 medium roma tomatoes, diced (1 ½ cups)
- 1/3 cup chopped yellow onion
- 3 Tbsp minced fresh cilantro
- 1 Tbsp fresh lime juice
- 1 small garlic cloves, minced (3/4 tsp)
- Mix all ingredients in a bowl.
