Instructions

1. 1
   Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add chopped onion and cook until softened, about 3-5 minutes. Add minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
2. 2
   Add ground beef to the skillet and cook, breaking it up with a spoon, until browned. Drain any excess fat. Stir in the taco seasoning and water, bringing it to a simmer. Cook for 5-7 minutes until the liquid has mostly evaporated and the beef is well-seasoned. Stir in the rinsed black beans.
3. 3
   Arrange half of the tortilla chips in a single layer on a large, oven-safe platter or baking sheet. Spoon half of the seasoned beef and bean mixture over the chips, then sprinkle with half of the shredded cheddar and Monterey Jack cheeses.
4. 4
   Repeat with the remaining tortilla chips, beef and bean mixture, and cheeses, creating a second layer. Bake for 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the chips are slightly golden.
5. 5
   Carefully remove the nachos from the oven. Garnish generously with pickled jalapeño slices, diced tomatoes, and fresh cilantro. Serve immediately with dollops of sour cream and guacamole on the side.
