Ingredients
- 8 ounces tortilla chips
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 cup water
- 1 (15-ounce) can black beans, drained and rinsed
- 4 tablespoons taco seasoning
- 1 large sweet onion, diced, divided
- 3 Roma tomatoes, diced
- 1-2 jalapeños, finely diced
- ⅓ cup cilantro, chopped
- 1 juice of lime
- Salt, to taste
- 10 ounces cheddar cheese, shredded
- 1 avocado, diced
- sour cream
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F.
- Mix ½ of the chopped onion, 3 Roma tomatoes, jalapeño, cilantro, lime juice, and salt. Set aside.
- Add the beef and other ½ of the chopped onion to a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Cook until no longer pink and the onions are translucent. Drain off the fat, and mix in the water and taco seasoning. Bring to a simmer, cover, and turn down to low. Simmer for 8-10 minutes until tender.
- Stir in the black beans (add another ¼ cup of water if too thick) and simmer for 4-5 minutes.
- Meanwhile, line a large rimmed baking sheet with a layer of chips.
- Spoon half the meat/bean mixture over the chips followed by half the cheese. Add a second layer of chips and repeat with meat mixture and cheese. Place in the oven for 3-5 minutes until cheese is melted.
- Top with pico de gallo, avocados, extra cilantro, and sour cream. Serve immediately.

Notes
- Prep ahead. You can prepare all the ingredients the day before and store them separately until you're ready to assemble and bake.
- Store. Remove fresh toppings like avocado, lettuce, and pico as best you can. Keep nachos covered in the fridge for 1-2 days.
- Reheat. Place them on a parchment-lined baking tray and reheat in a low-temperature oven, carefully watching to ensure the chips don’t burn. Add fresh toppings back on and enjoy!
