Time 1h

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
2 large baking potatoes, cut into 1/2-inch thick slices
salt and ground black pepper to taste
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
½ pound ground beef
1 (15 ounce) can black beans, drained
2 tablespoons taco seasoning
2 tablespoons water
8 ounces shredded Cheddar cheese, divided
¼ cup shredded lettuce
1 small tomato, chopped
¼ cup sour cream
¼ cup guacamole

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C).
  • Pour 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil into a large bowl; toss the potato slices in the oil to coat.
  • Arrange the slices in a single layer on a baking sheet and sprinkle with salt and black pepper.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until the potato slices are golden brown, about 20 minutes.
  • While potato slices are baking, heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a skillet over medium heat; brown the ground beef in the hot oil, breaking it up into crumbles as it cooks, 8 to 10 minutes. Drain excess grease.
  • Mix the black beans into the ground beef; stir in the taco seasoning and water. Bring the mixture to a boil and reduce heat to medium-low. Simmer until the flavors have blended, about 10 minutes.
  • Arrange the potato slices on a serving platter and sprinkle with half the Cheddar cheese.

THE ORIGINAL NACHOS



The Original Nachos image

The first nachos were said to have been invented in Piedras Negras, Mexico, in 1940, with just three ingredients. As the story goes, a group of women walked into the Victory Club in Piedras outside business hours. Aiming to please, Ignacio Anaya, the maître d'hôtel known as Nacho, ran to the kitchen and made a quick appetizer with ingredients he found. Today's nachos know no end to their variations: They can have a number of seasoned layers, like these bricklayer-style nachos, or these vegetarian bean nachos, or simply be topped with cheese sauce, like those sold at concession stands. But the simplicity of its original, with its barely salted chips, nutty melted cheese and briny pickled jalapeños, is sure to charm true fans.

Number Of Ingredients 3

3/4 pound store-bought or Homemade Tortilla Chips (see recipe)

Steps:

  • Set racks in the upper and lower thirds of the oven and heat to 400 degrees.
