And so we give you a platter of double-layered nachos that combine ground beef and black beans with heaps of tomato, cheese, scallions, olives and jalapenos. Whatever recipe or toppings you use to build your nacho platter, be sure to assemble them in layer of chips and toppings. This minimizes the number of naked tortilla chips left on the bottom of the plate. This recipe alsp includes a bath of guacamole. To save time, you could substitute purchased guacamole, or leave it out entirely and spoon salsa over the finished nachos.

Steps:
- HEAT oven to 375°
- Brown beef in skillet, crumble in small pieces.
- Cook until it is no longer pink; drain.
- ADD chili powder, paprika, salt dried onion & water.
- Simmer on low for about 10 minute
- Heat beans in small pan or in microwave, until hot.
- MIX cheeses together in small bowl; set aside.
- ARRANGE chips on baking sheet or on oven-proof plate (I use a large pie plate).
- SPREAD about 1 Tbsp of beans on each chip.
- SPRINKLE about 2 Tbsp of beef on each chip. Flatten beef with spoon so that it will hold the cheese.
- Place a handful of cheese on each chip.
- Sprinkle onion over the cheese.
- Place a slice of jalapeno on each chip.
- BAKE for 8-10 minutes or until cheese melts.
- Serve with salsa, guacamole or sour cream.
Tips:
- Use high-quality ingredients: Fresh, flavorful ingredients will make your nachos taste better. Use ripe tomatoes, crisp lettuce, and a flavorful cheese blend.
- Don't overload the nachos: Too many toppings can make the nachos soggy and difficult to eat. Add toppings in moderation so that each bite is a perfect balance of flavors and textures.
- Broil the nachos until the cheese is melted and bubbly: This will help to ensure that the cheese is evenly distributed and melted throughout the nachos.
- Serve the nachos immediately: Nachos are best when they are served hot and fresh. Once they have cooled down, they will become soggy and less flavorful.

Nachos are a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. They are perfect for parties, game days, or a quick and easy meal.
