Ingredients

1 pound ground beef
1 cup salsa (Herdez tomatillo works really well in this recipe)
kosher salt & freshly ground pepper
4-6 cups tortilla chips
3-4 cups shredded Mexican-blend cheese, divided
1 can black beans, rinsed and drained well
sliced or minced jalapeño, sour cream, diced tomatoes, sliced green onions, chopped cilantro

Directions

Preheat oven to 350F.
Cook ground beef in a large skillet over medium heat until no pink remains. Drain off fat. Season with salt and pepper then stir in salsa. Set aside.
Place tortilla chips on a sheet pan and top with 2 cups shredded cheese (or more, if desired). Place in oven for three minutes. Remove from oven and top with black beans then beef/salsa mixture. Top with remaining cheese; place back in oven for another 5-7 minutes or until cheese is completely melted.
Remove from oven, add toppings and serve immediately!
