Ingredients

Makes 4 servings

For the Nachos:

• 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
• 1 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese
• 1/2 lb ground beef or turkey
• 1/2 cup black beans, drained and rinsed
• 1 teaspoon chili powder
• 1/2 teaspoon cumin

Step-by-Step Instructions

Additional Tips & FAQs

• Can I make these vegetarian?
  Absolutely! Simply swap the beef for extra black beans, pinto beans, or a plant-based meat alternative.
• How do I prevent soggy nachos?
  Use thick, sturdy chips and layer ingredients strategically—melted cheese on top of the chips helps create a barrier that prevents sogginess.
• What can I add for extra flavor?
  Try adding pickled onions, roasted corn, or a drizzle of hot sauce for extra zing.
