Loaded Nachos

Ingredients

• •200 g Tortilla chips
• •200 g Cheddar cheese
• •400 g Ground beef
• •400 g Black beans
• •2 pcs Jalapeños
• •120 ml Sour cream
• •100 g Guacamole
• •2 tbsp Taco seasoning
• •1 tsp Salt

Instructions

1. 1

   Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Brown 400g ground beef in a skillet over medium-high heat, breaking apart as it cooks.

   💡 Crumble the beef finely for even distribution. Drain excess fat before seasoning.

2. 2

   Drain beef. Add 2 tbsp taco seasoning and 1/4 cup water. Simmer for 3 minutes until thickened. Set aside.

   💡 Homemade or store-bought seasoning works. The sauce coats the meat evenly.

3. 3

   Drain and rinse 400g black beans. Slice 2 jalapeños. Shred 200g cheddar cheese.

   💡 Prep all toppings before assembling. Shredding cheese melts better than pre-shredded.

4. 4

   Spread tortilla chips in a single layer on a large baking sheet or oven-safe platter.

   💡 Don't overlap chips - they won't cook evenly. Use two sheets if needed.

5. 5

   Layer: beans, seasoned beef, jalapeños, and cheese. Bake for 8-10 minutes until cheese is melted and bubbly.

   💡 Even distribution ensures every chip gets toppings. Watch carefully - cheese burns quickly.

6. 6

   Remove from oven. Top with dollops of sour cream and guacamole. Serve immediately while hot.

   💡 Add cold toppings AFTER baking - they melt and get soggy if added too early.
