Ingredients
- 1 large bag thick tortilla chips
- 1 lb ground beef
- 2 tsp chili powder
- 1 tsp cumin
- 3 cups shredded cheddar and Monterey Jack
- 1 can black beans, rinsed
- Pickled jalapeños
- Scallions, cilantro, sour cream, and lime
Instructions
- 1
Brown the beef with the chili powder and cumin until it is well seasoned and slightly crisp at the edges, then drain off any excess fat.
- 2
Spread half the chips over a sheet pan, scatter over half the beef, beans, and cheese, and repeat so the second layer covers the first completely.
- 3
Bake at 400°F for about ten minutes, just until the cheese has fully melted and pooled between the chips without the edges burning.
- 4
Scatter the jalapeños over the hot pan so they warm through and lose their raw bite.
- 5
Finish off the heat with scallions, cilantro, spoonfuls of sour cream, and a hard squeeze of lime, then serve straight from the pan.
