Ingredients
1 lb ground beef
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1 teaspoon paprika
1/2 teaspoon cayenne (optional)
8 cups tortilla chips
1 can black beans (drained and rinsed)
1/2 cup corn kernels
1/4 cup black olives, sliced
2 cups cheese (white cheddar, yellow cheddar, or Tex Mex blend)
Toppings: Diced tomatoes, sliced jalapeños, green onions, sour cream
Optional extra toppings: Guacamole, avocado, red onions, cilantro, ranch or spicy ranch sauce
Instructions
-
Cook the ground beef: Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef and garlic, cooking for 5-7 minutes until browned. Season with salt, pepper, paprika, and cayenne (optional). Set aside.
-
Prepare the nachos: Spread a layer of tortilla chips on a sheet pan. Evenly distribute the cooked ground beef, black beans, corn, black olives, and cheese on top.
-
Bake: Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Bake the nachos for 12-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
-
Top and serve: After baking, add fresh toppings like tomatoes, jalapeños, green onions, and a drizzle of sour cream. Serve immediately.
Notes
For a vegetarian version, swap the ground beef with seasoned tofu or sautéed mushrooms.
Use a variety of cheeses for a more complex flavor (e.g., Monterey Jack, pepper jack).
Don’t overload the chips with toppings to avoid sogginess.
