Ingredients

Meat and Seasoning

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1 (1.25-oz) package taco seasoning
  • 1 (16-oz) jar salsa

Nacho Base and Toppings

  • 1 (12-oz) bag corn chips
  • 1 (15-oz) can black beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1 (8.5-oz) can corn, drained
  • 1 small can sliced black olives, drained
  • 1.5 cups shredded Mexican cheese blend

Fresh Garnishes

  • 1 Roma tomato, diced
  • 1 small red onion, diced
  • 1 jalapeño, thinly sliced
  • 1 handful fresh cilantro
  • Sour cream, for serving

Instructions

  1. Prep: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and spray it with nonstick cooking spray to prevent sticking.
  2. Brown Beef: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef and cook, breaking it apart, until fully browned. Drain excess fat if desired. Stir in the taco seasoning and salsa to coat the beef evenly, combining the flavors well.
  3. Assemble Nachos: Spread the corn chips evenly in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Layer the seasoned ground beef mixture on top, then evenly distribute the black beans, corn, sliced olives, and shredded Mexican cheese over the chips.
  4. Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 5-6 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and everything is heated through.
  5. Add Fresh Toppings and Serve: Once baked, remove from oven and immediately top with diced Roma tomato, red onion, jalapeño slices, and fresh cilantro. Serve warm alongside sour cream for dipping.

Notes

  • You can customize your nachos by adding jalapeño slices before baking if you prefer a spicier dish.
  • To make it vegetarian, substitute ground beef with plant-based meat or extra beans.
  • Using aluminum foil on the baking sheet makes cleanup easier.
  • Serve immediately for the best texture and flavor; chips may get soggy if left too long.
