Ingredients

Scale
  • Tortilla chips (sturdy, thick-cut like Mission)
  • 1 lb ground beef (90/10 lean)
  • 1 cup black beans, drained and rinsed
  • 23 fresh jalapeños, sliced thin (seeds removed for less heat)
  • 1 cup diced tomatoes (fresh or canned)
  • ½ cup red onion, finely chopped
  • Small handful fresh cilantro, roughly chopped
  • 1½ cups shredded cheddar cheese (sharp or medium)
  • Queso Blanco Sauce:
  • 1 cup whole milk
  • 4 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1½ cups shredded Monterey Jack cheese
  • 1 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 1 tbsp all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • ½ tsp ground cumin
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Optional toppings: sour cream, avocado slices, green onions, sliced black olives

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add ground beef and cook, breaking apart, until browned and no longer pink, about 6-8 minutes. Drain excess fat if necessary.
  3. Add finely chopped red onion and sliced jalapeños to the beef. Cook for 3-4 minutes until softened and fragrant. Season with salt and pepper.
  4. In a medium saucepan, melt unsalted butter over medium heat. Stir in flour and whisk continuously for 1-2 minutes to form a roux.
  5. Slowly pour in whole milk while whisking to avoid lumps.
  6. Reduce heat to low. Add softened cream cheese and shredded Monterey Jack cheese. Stir until melted and smooth.
  7. Season queso blanco sauce with garlic powder, ground cumin, salt, and pepper. Keep warm on very low heat.
  8. Spread a layer of tortilla chips on a baking sheet. Sprinkle half of the cooked beef mixture, black beans, diced tomatoes, and shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the chips.
  9. Repeat layers with remaining chips, beef, beans, tomatoes, and cheddar cheese.
  10. Generously drizzle queso blanco sauce over the layered nachos.
  11. Bake in preheated oven for 10-12 minutes until cheese is bubbly and slightly golden.
  12. Remove from oven and sprinkle chopped cilantro and any optional toppings like sour cream or avocado slices.
  13. Serve immediately while hot and crispy.

Notes

To avoid soggy nachos, layer chips and cheese alternately and drizzle queso blanco sauce carefully. Melt cheeses slowly on low heat to prevent curdling. Drain black beans well. Serve immediately after baking for best texture. Reheat leftovers in toaster or conventional oven to keep chips crispy.
