Ingredients
Scale
Meat and Seasoning
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 (1.25-oz) package taco seasoning
- 1 (16-oz) jar salsa
Base and Toppings
- 1 (12-oz) bag corn chips
- 1 (15-oz) can black beans, drained and rinsed
- 1 (8.5-oz) can corn, drained
- 1 small can sliced black olives, drained
- 1.5 cups shredded Mexican cheese blend
- 1 Roma tomato, diced
- 1 small red onion, diced
- 1 jalapeno, thinly sliced
- 1 handful fresh cilantro
- Sour cream, for serving
Instructions
- Prep: Heat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and spray it with nonstick cooking spray to prevent sticking.
- Brown beef: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it apart as it cooks. Drain any excess grease if desired. Stir in the taco seasoning and salsa until the beef is fully coated and heated through.
- Assemble: Spread the corn chips in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Evenly distribute the ground beef mixture over the chips, then add black beans, corn, sliced olives, and sprinkle the shredded Mexican cheese blend on top.
- Bake: Place the baking sheet into the preheated oven and bake for about 5 to 6 minutes until everything is heated through and the cheese has fully melted.
- Top and serve: Remove the nachos from the oven and garnish with diced Roma tomato, diced red onion, sliced jalapeño, and fresh cilantro. Serve immediately with sour cream on the side for dipping.
Notes
- Drain excess grease from the cooked beef to reduce fat content.
- Adjust jalapeño quantity to control the spiciness.
- For a vegetarian version, omit beef and use extra beans and veggies.
- Use freshly shredded cheese for best melting results.
- Serve immediately after baking to keep chips crisp.
