Instructions

Step 1: Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add 1 lb ground beef and cook for 5-7 minutes, breaking it apart until browned and cooked through.
Step 2: Add 1 medium diced yellow onion and 3 minced garlic cloves to the skillet. Sauté for 4 minutes until the onion softens and garlic is fragrant.
Step 3: Stir in 2 tbsp taco seasoning, 1 cup black beans, and 1 cup diced tomatoes with green chilies. Cook for 5 minutes until the mixture thickens and the flavors meld.
Step 4: Preheat your oven broiler to high. Spread 4 cups tortilla chips evenly on a large oven-safe dish or baking sheet.
Step 5: Spoon the beef mixture evenly over the chips, then sprinkle 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese on top. Arrange 2 sliced jalapeño peppers over the cheese.
Step 6: Place under the broiler for 3-4 minutes until cheese is melted and bubbly, watching closely to avoid burning.
Step 7: Remove from oven and garnish with 1/2 cup sour cream and 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro. Serve with lime wedges for squeezing over.
