Ingredients
For the meat:
- 2 teaspoons olive oil or avocado oil
- 1 lb lean ground beef
- 1 tablespoon chili powder
- 1 1/2 teaspoons ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/4 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1/4 cup water
For the nachos:
- 12 oz bag tortilla chips
- 15 oz black beans, rinsed and drained (can use pinto beans or refried beans)
- 4 cups grated cheddar cheese, can use Monterey Jack or a mix
Toppings:
- Diced red onion or sliced green onion
- shredded lettuce
- diced tomatoes
- sliced black olives
- Fresh chopped cilantro leaves
- diced avocado or guacamole
- sour cream or plain Greek yogurt
- jalapeño slices
- Pickled red onion
- salsa
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
- To make the taco meat: In a medium skillet, heat the oil over medium-high heat. Brown the ground beef for about 5 minutes, breaking up the meat into small pieces using a wooden spoon. Drain any excess fat. Season with chili powder, cumin, salt, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, and oregano. Pour in the water and let simmer for 5 minutes or until thickened. Turn off heat and set aside.
- On a large-rimmed baking sheet lined with parchment paper or foil, arrange the tortilla chips in single layer, it’s ok if the chips overlap a little. Top with half of the grated cheese, the cooked meat, and the black beans. Sprinkle the remaining cheese over the top.
- Place the pan in the oven and bake for 5 to 10 minutes or until the cheese is melted.
- Remove from the oven and top with your favorite toppings. Serve immediately.
Notes
- Nachos are best the day they are made. You can prep the toppings ahead of time.
