Ingredients

Scale
  • Tortilla chips (sturdy, thick-cut, about 10-12 oz)
  • 1 pound ground beef or turkey, seasoned with taco spices
  • 2 cups shredded cheese blend (sharp cheddar and Monterey Jack)
  • 1 can (15 oz) black beans, rinsed and drained
  • 1 cup diced tomatoes, drained
  • 12 jalapeños, sliced thin (seeds optional)
  • ½ cup finely chopped red onion
  • ¼ cup sliced green onions
  • Small handful fresh cilantro, chopped
  • Sour cream, for serving
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil (plus about 1 teaspoon for drizzling over chips)
  • 2 tablespoons taco seasoning (homemade or store-bought)
  • ¼ cup water

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add 1 pound ground beef and cook until browned, about 6-8 minutes, breaking up the meat with a spatula. Drain excess fat if necessary.
  3. Stir in 2 tablespoons taco seasoning and ¼ cup water. Simmer until liquid reduces and beef is well coated, about 3 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.
  4. In a medium bowl, combine rinsed black beans, diced tomatoes, chopped red onion, and sliced jalapeños. Toss gently to mix.
  5. Spread a single layer of tortilla chips evenly on a large rimmed sheet pan. Drizzle lightly with about 1 teaspoon olive oil to promote crispiness.
  6. Sprinkle half the shredded cheese (1 cup) evenly over the chips.
  7. Spread the seasoned ground beef evenly over the cheese layer.
  8. Distribute the black bean mixture evenly over the beef.
  9. Sprinkle the remaining shredded cheese (1 cup) on top to create a double cheese layer.
  10. Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until cheese is melted, bubbling, and chips around the edges are crisp and golden.
  11. Remove from oven and immediately garnish with sliced green onions and chopped fresh cilantro.
  12. Serve with dollops of sour cream on top or on the side for dipping.

Notes

Use sturdy, thick-cut tortilla chips to prevent sogginess. Drain wet ingredients well to keep chips crisp. Double layer cheese to bind toppings and maintain crispness. Bake on the middle oven rack and watch closely to avoid burning. For extra crispiness, broil 1-2 minutes but watch carefully. Leftovers can be reheated in a 350°F oven for 8-10 minutes to revive crispness; avoid microwaving.
