Ingredients

Quantities are for 4 servings.

• 3/4 lb Ground beef

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 400°F and line a large sheet pan with parchment paper.

3. Add the garlic and cook 1 minute until fragrant.
4. Stir in the taco seasoning and 1/4 cup water and simmer 2-3 minutes until slightly thickened.
5. Stir in the black beans and cook 2 minutes more to heat through.
6. Spread the tortilla chips in an even layer on the sheet pan and spoon the beef mixture evenly over them.
7. Sprinkle with the cheese and bake for 10-12 minutes, until melted and bubbly.
8. Top with cilantro and any optional toppings before serving.
