Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 cups (120g) thick-cut tortilla chips
  • 1 cup (100g) sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
  • 1 cup (100g) Monterey Jack cheese, shredded
  • 6 oz (170g) ground beef or turkey, cooked and seasoned with taco spices
  • ½ cup (120ml) black beans, drained and rinsed
  • ½ cup (120ml) diced tomatoes, fresh or canned
  • Jalapeño slices, fresh or pickled, to taste
  • 2 tbsp diced red onion
  • 2 tbsp sour cream or Greek yogurt
  • 2 tbsp sliced black olives
  • 1 tbsp chopped green onions
  • 1 tbsp fresh cilantro, chopped (optional)
  • ¼ cup (60ml) guacamole or sliced avocado
  • 1 tbsp taco seasoning (homemade or store-bought)
  • Lime wedges (optional, for serving)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. In a skillet over medium heat, brown 6 oz (170g) of ground beef or turkey with 1 tablespoon of taco seasoning, stirring occasionally for about 7 minutes. Drain excess fat if needed.
  3. Spread about 4 cups (120g) of thick-cut tortilla chips evenly in your personal pan or skillet.
  4. Sprinkle half of the shredded cheddar (½ cup / 50g) and Monterey Jack (½ cup / 50g) cheese evenly over the chips.
  5. Evenly distribute the cooked meat and ½ cup (120ml) of rinsed black beans over the cheese layer.
  6. Scatter ½ cup (120ml) diced tomatoes, 2 tablespoons diced red onion, and jalapeño slices to taste over the meat and beans.
  7. Sprinkle the remaining shredded cheese over everything to create a melty topping.
  8. Place the pan on the middle rack in the oven and bake for 8-10 minutes, until cheese is bubbly and golden in spots. Start checking at 7 minutes to avoid burning.
  9. Remove from oven and dollop 2 tablespoons of sour cream or Greek yogurt, sprinkle sliced black olives, chopped green onions, and fresh cilantro over the top.
  10. Add sliced avocado or a scoop of guacamole if desired.
  11. Serve with lime wedges for squeezing before eating.

Notes

To keep chips crispy, layer cheese under and over toppings and add fresh toppings like sour cream and guacamole after baking. Use thick-cut tortilla chips for best crunch. Watch oven closely after 7 minutes to avoid burning. For a golden bubbly top, broil for last 30 seconds but watch carefully. Leftovers can be reheated in a 350°F oven for 5-7 minutes; avoid microwaving to prevent sogginess.
