Epic Beef Nachos Supreme

Ingredients:

• 1 pound ground beef

• 1 packet (1.25 ounces) taco seasoning mix

• 1 bag (about 10-12 ounces) tortilla chips

• 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese (or Mexican blend cheese)

• 1 can (15 ounces) black beans, drained and rinsed

• 1 cup diced tomatoes

• 1/2 cup diced red onion

• 1/4 cup sliced jalapenos (optional)

• 1/4 cup sliced black olives (optional)

• 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro (optional)

• Sour cream, guacamole, and salsa for serving

Instructions:

1. Preheat your oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

2. Cook the ground beef: In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until it’s browned and crumbled. Drain excess fat if necessary. Add the taco seasoning mix and water according to the packet instructions. Stir well and simmer for a few minutes until the mixture thickens slightly.

3. Prepare the baking sheet: Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil for easy cleanup.

4. Layer the nachos: Arrange a layer of tortilla chips on the baking sheet. Top the chips evenly with the seasoned ground beef, shredded cheese, black beans, diced tomatoes, red onion, jalapenos, and black olives.

5. Repeat layers: Repeat the process to create another layer of nachos if you have remaining ingredients or if you desire a thicker layer of toppings.

6. Bake the nachos: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for about 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

7. Garnish and serve: Remove the nachos from the oven and garnish with chopped cilantro if desired. Serve hot with sour cream, guacamole, and salsa on the side.
