These Ultimate Loaded Nachos are perfect for game night or movie marathons! Crunchy tortilla chips are piled high with seasoned taco meat, black beans, chopped tomatoes, melty cheese, and ALL the toppings.
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C), and pull out your sheet pan
Cook the beef
In a skillet over medium heat, cook 1 pound ground beef until browned. Drain excess fat. Add 2 tablespoons taco seasoning and 1/2 cup water to the beef.
Assemble
Spread out a layer of tortilla chips on a large oven-safe platter or baking sheet. Evenly distribute the seasoned meat over the chips.
Sprinkle the 1 cup cheddar cheese and 1 cup Monterey Jack cheese over the meat.
Scatter 15 ounces can black beans, 1 cup diced tomatoes, 1/2 cup black olives, and 1/4 cup jalapeños on top.
Bake
Place the loaded nachos in the preheated oven and bake for 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Add more toppings
Remove the nachos from the oven. Add dollops of sour cream and sprinkle chopped cilantro and chopped green onions over the top.
Serve
Add dollops of guacamole or diced avocados if desired.
Notes
Adjust the spice level by adding more or fewer jalapeños.Keep an eye on the nachos while they are baking to prevent burning. If the edges of the tortilla chips start to brown too quickly and the cheese is not melted yet, you can cover them loosely with foil.The nachos are best served immediately after baking. This way the chips are crispy and you have melted cheese
