Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 cups (about 180 g) sturdy tortilla chips (e.g., Mission or On the Border)
  • 1 pound (450 g) ground beef or turkey
  • 1 tablespoon chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 cup (170 g) black beans, drained and rinsed
  • 12 jalapeños, sliced (fresh or pickled)
  • 1 cup (150 g) diced tomatoes (fresh or canned)
  • 1 cup (100 g) shredded cheese blend (sharp cheddar and Monterey Jack)
  • Sour cream (optional, for topping)
  • Green onions, thinly sliced (for garnish)
  • Fresh cilantro, roughly chopped (for garnish)
  • Fresh lime wedges (for serving)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Heat a medium skillet over medium heat. Add ground beef or turkey and cook for 5-7 minutes until browned and no longer pink, breaking it up with a spatula.
  3. Add chili powder, cumin, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper to the meat. Stir well and cook for another 2 minutes.
  4. Prepare toppings: drain and rinse black beans, slice jalapeños, dice tomatoes, and slice green onions and cilantro.
  5. On a large baking sheet or oven-safe skillet, spread a generous layer of tortilla chips.
  6. Sprinkle one-third of the cooked meat evenly over the chips. Add one-third of the black beans, tomatoes, and jalapeños.
  7. Sprinkle one-third of the shredded cheese over the toppings.
  8. Repeat layering two more times, ending with a final layer of cheese on top.
  9. Bake in the oven for 7-10 minutes until cheese is melted and bubbly and chips start to crisp.
  10. Remove from oven and immediately top with dollops of sour cream, sliced green onions, chopped cilantro, and a squeeze of fresh lime.
  11. Serve hot and enjoy.

Notes

Use sturdy tortilla chips to prevent sogginess. Layer toppings and cheese between chips to keep them crispy. Broil for 1-2 minutes at the end for extra crunch but watch carefully to avoid burning. Let cooked meat rest a few minutes to absorb seasoning. Avoid microwaving to keep chips crisp.
