Ingredients

Scale
  • Tortilla chips (sturdy, thick-cut)
  • 2 cups shredded sharp cheddar and Monterey Jack cheese blend
  • 1 pound ground beef or plant-based crumbles
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon cumin
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 can (15 oz) black beans or pinto beans, rinsed and drained
  • 4 large soft-boiled eggs
  • Chili crisp (spicy chili oil with garlic and shallots)
  • 1/2 cup diced tomatoes
  • 1 small sliced jalapeño
  • 3 stalks chopped green onions
  • 1/4 cup fresh cilantro
  • Sour cream or Greek yogurt (optional)
  • Lime wedges
  • Avocado slices

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease an oven-safe platter.
  2. In a skillet over medium heat, brown 1 pound of ground beef or plant-based crumbles with chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper for 8-10 minutes. Set aside.
  3. Drain and rinse 1 can (15 oz) of black or pinto beans. Add to the skillet to warm through for about 2 minutes. Remove from heat.
  4. Soft-boil the eggs: bring a medium pot of water to a gentle boil, lower 4 large eggs carefully, and cook for exactly 6 minutes. Transfer eggs immediately to an ice bath for 5 minutes, then peel.
  5. Arrange tortilla chips in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Sprinkle evenly with shredded cheese blend.
  6. Scatter the cooked beef and beans evenly over the cheese and chips.
  7. Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes or until cheese is melted and bubbly. Watch closely to avoid burning chips.
  8. Remove from oven and top with diced tomatoes, sliced jalapeños, chopped green onions, and fresh cilantro.
  9. Halve the soft-boiled eggs and nestle them on top of the nachos.
  10. Drizzle generous spoonfuls of chili crisp over the entire bowl. Add dollops of sour cream or Greek yogurt and avocado slices.
  11. Serve immediately with lime wedges on the side.

Notes

Serve toppings on the side to prevent soggy chips. Watch cheese closely in the last 2 minutes of baking to avoid burning. Soft-boiled eggs are best fresh but can be refrigerated peeled for up to 2 days. Use dairy-free cheese and yogurt for vegan version. Substitute chili crisp with spicy salsa if unavailable.
