Ingredients

4 servings
Cheese (melting)2 cups shredded
Jalapeño or poblano peppers2–3 peppers, sliced
Black beans or pinto beans1 cup cooked or canned, drained
Fresh cilantro1/4 cup chopped
Lime1 lime, cut into wedges

Method

1

Preheat oven to 375°F. Line a large baking sheet with foil or parchment for easy cleanup.

2

Brown the ground meat (beef, turkey, pork, or tempeh substitute) in a skillet with salt, pepper, and optional cumin or chili powder. Drain excess fat and set aside. Warm the beans separately if using canned.

3

Slice jalapeños and dice red onion or green onion. Have all toppings ready: salsa, sour cream, cilantro, and lime wedges.

4

Spread tortilla chips in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Distribute cooked meat evenly over the chips.

5

Scatter cooked beans and sliced jalapeños over the meat. Sprinkle shredded cheese generously over the top layer.

6

Bake for 8–10 minutes until cheese is melted and bubbly. Watch carefully to avoid chips becoming too dark.

7

Remove from oven and immediately dollop sour cream and salsa over the top. Sprinkle with diced red onion, cilantro, and lime juice. Serve hot with lime wedges on the side.
