A little off the beaten path of traditional nachos, my recipe offers the opportunity to pile on the veggies…the more the merrier.
Meat
1 lb ground meat (sirloin, turkey or chicken…your choice)-sauté with spices
1-15.5 oz can black beans-drained and rinsed
1-15.5 oz can kidney beans-drained and rinsed
2 tbsp olive oil
2 clove garlic
3-4 tsp chili powder
1-2 tsp cumin (depending on how much of this spice you like)
1/2 tsp oregano
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp pepper or red pepper flakes
Sauté your ground meat meat in oil until browned. Add the remaining above ingredients and stir well. If mixture is dry add 1-2 tbsp water (a little at time).
Prepare sheet pan with foil or parchment and distribute corn tortilla chips to cover the bottom of the tray. Add grated cheese and meat (recipe above). Bake in 350° oven for 12-20 minutes until the cheese is bubbly. Remove from the oven and while they are hot, pile on the veggies and serve.
