Crispy layered nachos baked in a Bundt pan with seasoned beef, melted cheese, and all your favorite toppings.

# What You'll Need:

→ Meat & Beans

01 - 1 pound ground beef
02 - 1 (15 ounce) can black beans, drained and rinsed
03 - 1 packet (1 ounce) taco seasoning
04 - 1/3 cup water

→ Chips & Cheese

05 - 8 cups tortilla chips
06 - 2 cups shredded Cheddar cheese
07 - 1 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese

→ Vegetables & Toppings

08 - 1 cup diced tomatoes
09 - 1/2 cup sliced black olives
10 - 1/2 cup sliced green onions
11 - 1 jalapeño, thinly sliced
12 - 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
13 - 1/2 cup sour cream
14 - 1/2 cup salsa
15 - 1 avocado, diced

# Directions:

01 - Preheat oven to 375°F. Grease a Bundt pan thoroughly with nonstick cooking spray.
02 - Heat a skillet over medium heat. Add ground beef and cook, breaking apart with a spoon, until browned throughout, approximately 5–7 minutes. Drain excess fat from the skillet.
03 - Sprinkle taco seasoning over the browned beef. Pour in water and stir until seasoning is evenly distributed. Simmer for 2–3 minutes until the sauce thickens. Fold in the black beans and remove from heat.
04 - Arrange one-third of the tortilla chips across the bottom of the prepared Bundt pan. Distribute one-third of the beef and bean mixture over the chips, then sprinkle with one-third of the Cheddar and Monterey Jack cheeses.
05 - Repeat the layering process two additional times, using all remaining chips, meat mixture, and cheese. Ensure the final layer is topped with cheese for optimal melting.
06 - Place the Bundt pan in the center of the oven. Bake for 15–18 minutes until the cheese is completely melted and bubbly.
07 - Remove the pan from the oven and allow to cool for 3–5 minutes. Carefully invert the Bundt pan onto a serving platter, releasing the nacho ring.
08 - Scatter diced tomatoes, black olives, green onions, jalapeño slices, and cilantro over the top. Add dollops of sour cream and salsa, then distribute the diced avocado evenly.
09 - Present the Bundt pan nachos while warm and the cheese remains melted. Serve with additional salsa, sour cream, or guacamole on the side if desired.

# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • The presentation is absolutely show stopping and people will ask how you made it
  • Every single chip gets coated in cheese instead of just the ones on top
  • You can prep everything ahead and just bake when guests arrive
02 -
  • The cooling period before flipping is not optional or the whole thing will collapse
  • Really grease that Bundt pan well especially in the center tube area
  • Don't use baked chips or they'll turn into cardboard in the oven
03 -
  • Press each layer down firmly with the back of a spoon so it holds together when flipped
  • Use a mix of chip sizes smaller chips fill in gaps and larger ones create structure
  • If some chips break during layering don't worry they become delicious crispy bits
