Ingredients
  

1 pound ground beef

1 can (15 oz) black beans, drained and rinsed

1 cup corn kernels (can be fresh, frozen, or canned)

1 packet (1 oz) taco seasoning

1 cup diced tomatoes (can be fresh or canned)

1/2 cup sliced jalapeños (optional, choose fresh or pickled)

2 cups tortilla chips

2 cups shredded cheddar cheese

1 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese

1 avocado, diced (for topping)

1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro (for garnish)

Sour cream (for serving)

Salsa (for serving)

Instructions
 

Cook the Beef: In a large skillet over medium heat, add the ground beef. Use a spatula to break the meat apart as it cooks. Continue to sauté for about 5-7 minutes, or until it turns brown and is no longer pink. Drain off any excess fat to keep the dish from being greasy.

    Add Seasonings: Stir in the taco seasoning, black beans, corn, and diced tomatoes into the skillet. Mix well and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes, allowing the ingredients to heat through and the flavors to meld.

      Layer the Chips: Lower the heat to a gentle simmer. Evenly distribute the tortilla chips over the beef and bean mixture in the skillet, ensuring they are well-positioned to absorb the flavors.

        Add the Cheese: Generously sprinkle the shredded cheddar and Monterey Jack cheeses over the tortilla chips, ensuring each chip gets a hearty layer. For those who enjoy heat, scatter the sliced jalapeños on top.

          Melt the Cheese: Cover the skillet with a lid and allow it to sit on low heat for approximately 5 minutes. Keep an eye on it until the cheese is fully melted and bubbly, creating a delicious cheesy layer.

            Garnish: Carefully remove the skillet from the heat. Top the nachos with the diced avocado and a sprinkle of fresh cilantro for a burst of color and flavor.

              Serve: Present the nachos directly in the skillet for a rustic feel. Serve hot with bowls of sour cream and salsa on the side for guests to enjoy as dipping options.
