Equipment

Ingredients

  • 1 large bag tortilla chips (13 ounces)
  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1 packet taco seasoning
  • ¼ cup beef broth
  • 1 (15 oz) can black beans, drained and rinsed
  • 2 cups cheddar cheese, shredded
  • 1 cup Colby Jack cheese, shredded
  • 1 cup grape tomatoes, halved
  • ½ cup onion, diced
  • 1 fresh jalapeño, thinly sliced
  • ¼ cup sliced black olives
  • ½ cup sour cream
  • ¼ cup fresh cilantro, chopped

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 375°F.
  • Brown ground beef in a large skillet over medium heat. Drain excess fat.
  • Add taco seasoning and ¼ cup beef broth to the beef. Cook until the liquid is absorbed.
  • Arrange tortilla chips in a single layer on a large baking sheet.
  • Spoon the seasoned ground beef over the chips.
  • Sprinkle black beans over the beef.
  • Cover with both types of shredded cheese.
  • Bake for 10-15 minutes, or until cheese is fully melted and bubbly.
  • Remove nachos from oven and immediately top with desired toppings.

Notes

Loaded Nachos are best enjoyed fresh, but you can store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. For best results, follow these tips...
  • Separate Ingredients: Keep chips separated from the toppings. Store the chips in an airtight container at room temperature to keep them crispy, and place the toppings in a separate airtight container in the fridge.
  • Reheat: When you’re ready to enjoy leftovers, reheat the toppings in the oven until warmed through. For chips, you can crisp them up again in the oven for a few minutes to bring back their crunch.
  • Avoid Freezing: Nachos don’t freeze well because the chips can become soggy and the cheese can change texture. It’s best to enjoy leftovers within a few days.
