El Fuego Loaded Beef Nachos

Prep time: 15 Minutes
Cook time: 15 Minutes
Serves: 6

Ingredients

• Tortilla Chips – 1 large bag
• Ground Beef – 1 lb
• Black Beans, Drained – 1 can
• Cheddar and Monterey Jack, Shredded – 3 cups total
• My Sauce Lab El Fuego – 4 tbsp (divided)
• Ground Cumin – 1 tsp
• Pickled Jalapeños – 1/2 cup
• Tomato, Diced – 1
• Red Onion, Diced – 1/4 cup
• Sour Cream, Guacamole, and Cilantro – for serving
• Salt – to taste

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 400°F.
2. Brown the ground beef in a skillet over medium-high heat, about 7 minutes. Drain excess fat.
3. Stir in the cumin, black beans, 2 tbsp El Fuego, and a pinch of salt. Cook 2 more minutes.
4. Spread half the chips on a large sheet pan. Top with half the beef mixture and half the cheese. Repeat with a second layer — layering is what keeps the bottom chips from going bare.
5. Bake 10-12 minutes until the cheese is fully melted and bubbling.
6. Top with jalapeños, tomato, and red onion, then drizzle with the remaining 2 tbsp El Fuego.
7. Serve immediately with sour cream, guacamole, and cilantro.
