Ingredients

  • 1 pound ground beef For that savory base flavor.
  • 1 12-ounce bag tortilla chips The crunchy canvas for all your toppings.
  • 1 homemade taco seasoning For a burst of zesty flavor.
  • 15 ounces refried beans Adds creaminess and substance.
  • 1/2 cup corn Sweet and crunchy contrast.
  • 1/2 cup sliced olives For a briny kick.
  • 1/2 cup black beans A hearty addition that packs protein.
  • 1/2 cup salsa Brings a tangy freshness to the nachos.
  • 1 cup shredded mild cheddar cheese For that gooey, melty goodness.
  • 1 cup shredded jack cheese Adds a different layer of flavor.
  • Fresh cilantro Chopped, for garnish and freshness.
  • Sour cream A creamy topping to balance the flavors.
  • Jalapeños For those who like a little heat.
  • Roma tomatoes Chopped, for a fresh, juicy finish.

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). This will ensure that your nachos bake evenly and the cheese melts perfectly.
  • In a large skillet over medium heat, add the ground beef. Cook until browned, breaking it apart with a spatula. Drain any excess fat, then stir in your homemade taco seasoning.
  • On a large sheet pan, spread out the tortilla chips in an even layer. Make sure the chips are overlapping slightly for maximum toppings coverage.
  • Spread the refried beans over the tortilla chips. Next, evenly distribute the cooked ground beef on top.
  • Sprinkle the corn, sliced olives, and black beans over the beef. Then, pour the salsa over the entire dish for that zesty flavor.
  • Generously sprinkle the shredded mild cheddar and jack cheese over the top. Don’t be shy here—the more cheese, the better!
  • Place the sheet pan in the preheated oven and bake for about 15-20 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly. Keep an eye on it to prevent burning.
  • Once baked, remove the nachos from the oven and let them cool slightly. Top with chopped fresh cilantro, dollops of sour cream, sliced jalapeños, and chopped Roma tomatoes for a fresh finish.
