Ingredients

Servings
  • 1/2 bag tortilla chips your favorite
  • 2/3 lb ground beef I used 90% lean, lean
  • 15 oz black beans divided, canned, drained and rinsed
  • 1/2 tsp chili powder
  • 1/4 tsp ancho chile powder
  • 1/4 tsp cumin ground
  • 2/3 cup picante sauce
  • 1/2 cup mozzarella cheese shredded
  • 2/3 cup evaporated milk divided
  • 1 1/2 tsp cornstarch
  • 3/4 cup cheddar cheese pre shredded cheese will work, but has a tendency to not melt as well, grated
  • 1/2 jalapeno pepper seeded and finely minced
  • 1/4 cup Mexican crema (I use cacique brand)

GARNISHES:

  • 1-2 Roma tomato chopped
  • 3 green onions chopped
  • 1/4 cup cilantro freshly chopped
  • jalapeno pepper sliced into rings
  • lime slices or wedges

Instructions

  1. Spray large skillet with nonstick cooking spray and heat over MED-HIGH heat.  Add ground beef and cook about 5-7 minutes, using a wooden spoon or potato masher to crumble finely.  Drain if needed.
  2. Return pan to heat, add cooked beef back to skillet.  Add chili powder, Chile powder, and cumin, stirring to combine. 
  3. Add half the black beans to pan and use a potato masher to mash them in with the beef.  Stir in picante sauce.  Remove pan from heat and set aside.
  4. To a small bowl, add cornstarch and 1/4 cup evaporated milk.  Whisk to combine.  Pour remaining evaporated milk into a small saucepan and heat over MED until simmering.
  5. Add cornstarch mixture, whisk to combine.  Sprinkle in grated cheese and minced jalapeño and stir until melted and smooth, about 2 minutes.
  6. In a sheet pan with sides (like this jelly roll pan), layer chips, beef mixture, remaining black beans, and mozzarella cheese.  Broil on HIGH for a minute or until cheese is melty.
  7. Drizzle with cheese sauce and Mexican crema.  Top with desired garnishes and serve hot.

Notes

  • Beef/bean mixture and cheese sauce can be made ahead of time, kept refrigerated and reheated prior to making nachos... this is a huge time saver!
