Ingredients
3 tablespoons vegetable oil, divided
2 large baking potatoes, cut into 1/2-inch-thick slices
salt and ground black pepper to taste
8 ounces 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
Directions
Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C).
Add 2 tablespoons vegetable oil to a large bowl. Add potato slices to the bowl; toss to coat in oil.
Arrange potato slices in a single layer on a baking sheet; sprinkle with salt and black pepper.
Bake in the preheated oven until potato slices are golden brown, about 20 minutes.
Meanwhile, heat remaining 1 tablespoon vegetable oil in a skillet over medium heat; add ground beef. Brown, breaking into crumbles as it cooks, 8 to 10 minutes. Drain excess grease.
Stir black beans into ground beef, then stir in taco seasoning and water. Bring beef-bean mixture to a boil, then reduce heat to medium-low. Simmer until flavors have blended, about 10 minutes.
Arrange potato slices on a serving platter; sprinkle with 1/2 Cheddar cheese. Top with meat-bean mixture; sprinkle with remaining 1/2 cheese.
Spread lettuce over nachos; garnish with tomato. Dollop on sour cream and guacamole.
