Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 cups (240g) sturdy, thick tortilla chips
  • 1 cup (113g) sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
  • 1 cup (113g) Monterey Jack cheese, shredded
  • 1 cup (113g) mozzarella cheese, shredded
  • 1/2 pound (225g) ground beef, browned and seasoned with taco spices
  • 1/2 cup (130g) black beans, rinsed and drained
  • 1–2 fresh jalapeños, thinly sliced (optional)
  • 1/4 cup red onion, finely diced
  • 1 medium tomato, diced
  • 2 green onions, sliced thin
  • A handful fresh cilantro, chopped
  • 1 tsp chili powder
  • 1/2 tsp cumin
  • 1/2 tsp smoked paprika
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Sour cream for serving (optional)
  • Avocado or guacamole for serving (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Add ground beef and cook, breaking it up with a spatula, until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Drain any excess fat.
  3. Stir in chili powder, cumin, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper to taste. Cook for another minute to toast the spices. Remove from heat.
  4. Spread half of the tortilla chips on a rimmed baking sheet in an even layer.
  5. Sprinkle 1/3 of the three cheese blend evenly over the chips.
  6. Distribute half the seasoned beef, 1/4 cup black beans, diced red onion, and sliced jalapeños evenly over the cheese.
  7. Add the remaining chips on top, then another 1/3 of the cheese blend. Follow with the remaining beef, black beans, and toppings.
  8. Finish with the last 1/3 of cheese to cover everything nicely.
  9. Bake in the preheated oven for 8-12 minutes until cheese is bubbling and chips start to toast golden brown.
  10. Remove from oven and sprinkle diced tomatoes, green onions, and chopped cilantro on top.
  11. Serve with sour cream and sliced avocado or guacamole on the side or drizzled over the top.

Notes

Use thick, sturdy tortilla chips to prevent sogginess. Layer cheese in three parts to lock in moisture and maintain crispiness. Avoid piling too many wet toppings before baking; add fresh ingredients after baking. Drain cooked beef well to avoid soggy chips. Reheat leftovers in a 350°F oven for 5-7 minutes to restore crispiness. For vegetarian version, replace beef with extra black beans or grilled veggies. For gluten-free, use certified gluten-free chips.
