Layered nachos with beef, cheese, and fresh toppings arranged like a soccer field for festive occasions.
# What You Need:
→ Meat & Beans
01 - 1 lb ground beef
02 - 1 can (14 oz) black beans, drained and rinsed
03 - 2 tbsp taco seasoning mix
04 - 1 tbsp vegetable oil
→ Chips & Base
05 - 10 oz sturdy tortilla chips
→ Cheese
06 - 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
07 - 1 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese
→ Toppings & Field Decorations
08 - 1/2 cup sour cream (for field lines)
09 - 2 ripe avocados, mashed (for field base)
10 - 1/2 cup prepared salsa
11 - 1 cup chopped cherry tomatoes (for decoration)
12 - 1 small red bell pepper, diced (for corner flags)
13 - 1/4 cup sliced black olives
14 - 2 tbsp chopped fresh cilantro
# Directions:
01 - Preheat oven to 400°F.
02 - Heat vegetable oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add ground beef and cook until browned, about 5–7 minutes. Drain excess fat.
03 - Stir in taco seasoning and 2 tbsp water; cook for 2 minutes. Add black beans and cook for an additional 2–3 minutes until heated through. Remove from heat.
04 - Spread tortilla chips evenly on a large rimmed baking sheet or platter in a rectangular shape resembling a soccer field.
05 - Spoon beef and bean mixture evenly over the chips. Sprinkle shredded cheddar and Monterey Jack cheeses on top.
06 - Bake in the preheated oven for 8–10 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
07 - Allow to cool slightly. Spread mashed avocados smoothly over the cheese layer to mimic a green soccer field, leaving a border of chips visible around the edges.
08 - Fill a piping or zip-top bag with sour cream. Snip a small corner and pipe lines to depict field markings including goal boxes and center circle on the guacamole.
09 - Use diced red bell pepper pieces for corner flags, sliced black olives for players, and cherry tomatoes with cilantro for crowd or field accents.
10 - Serve immediately with prepared salsa on the side.
