    Cup of Yum
  1. Preheat oven to broil.
  2. Evenly divide the tortilla chips and Fritos between two rimmed half sheet pans. Top the chips evenly with the Monterey Jack and cheddar cheeses, then add the refried beans and black beans, the taco-seasoned ground beef, poblano pepper, and onion.
  3. Broil for 3 to 6 minutes, until the cheese is melted and the cheese and chips start to brown around the edges.
  4. Remove from the oven and top with the taco sauce, salsa, sour cream, jalapeños, scallions, corn, avocado, and cilantro. Serve immediately.

Notes

  • Nutritional values are based on one serving
  • Feel free to omit or swap out toppings based on your personal preferences.
  • You can use 2 tablespoons homemade taco seasoning + 2/3 cup water to cook your ground beef in lieu of the seasoning packet.
  • I'm including all of the original measurements for the toppings, but I didn't use all of the taco sauce or sour cream, just did a drizzle. Totally go based on your personal preferences here!
  • If you're serving these immediately, go ahead and add all of the toppings, however if you have folks that might be coming and going (or some picky eaters), you can set up all of the topping ingredients listed after the onion bar-style so people can add their own toppings as they wish.
