Ingredients

Scale
  • 12 cups (about 340g) sturdy tortilla chips
  • 4 cups (about 400g total) shredded cheddar and Monterey Jack cheese blend
  • 1 pound (450g) cooked ground beef or turkey, seasoned with taco spices (optional)
  • 1 can (15 oz / 425g) black beans, drained and rinsed
  • 2 medium jalapeños, sliced (pickled jalapeños optional)
  • 4 green onions, thinly sliced
  • 2 medium tomatoes, diced
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons taco seasoning (chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika)
  • Sour cream, guacamole, and salsa for serving (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add ground beef or turkey, breaking it up with a spatula. Cook until browned with no pink left, about 6-7 minutes.
  3. Sprinkle taco seasoning and about 2 tablespoons of water over the meat, stir well, and cook for 2 more minutes until fragrant.
  4. Line a large sheet pan (18×13 inches) with foil or parchment paper for easy cleanup.
  5. Spread tortilla chips in an even layer on the sheet pan, avoiding overcrowding.
  6. Scatter the cooked meat evenly over the chips (skip if vegetarian).
  7. Sprinkle black beans, diced tomatoes, and sliced jalapeños over the chips and meat.
  8. Generously cover everything with the shredded cheese blend.
  9. Bake in the oven for 8-10 minutes until the cheese is fully melted and bubbly.
  10. Remove from oven and immediately sprinkle with fresh green onions if not added before baking.
  11. Serve with dollops of sour cream, guacamole, and salsa on the side or on top.

Notes

[‘Use sturdy tortilla chips to prevent sogginess.’, ‘Do not overcrowd the pan to keep chips crispy.’, ‘Season meat well and add a splash of water to bloom spices.’, ‘Add fresh toppings like green onions after baking to maintain crunch.’, ‘Reheat leftovers in oven or air fryer at 350°F for 5-7 minutes to restore crispiness; avoid microwave.’, ‘For vegetarian version, skip meat and add extra black beans, corn, and bell peppers.’, ‘For dairy-free, use dairy-free cheese and substitute sour cream with coconut yogurt-based alternative.’, ‘To double recipe, use two sheet pans and bake separately or rotate pans halfway through.’]
