Ingredients:
- For the nacho triangles:
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 packet taco seasoning mix
- 1/4 cup water
- 1 cup black beans, drained and rinsed
- 2 cups shredded Mexican blend cheese
- 8 large flour tortillas
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- For the salsa-ranch dipping sauce:
- 1/2 cup ranch dressing
- 1/2 cup salsa
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh cilantro (optional)
Instructions:
- Prepare the ground beef:
- In a large skillet over medium-high heat, cook the ground beef until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Drain any excess fat.
- Add the taco seasoning mix and 1/4 cup of water to the beef. Stir to combine and cook for another 2-3 minutes until the sauce has thickened. Remove from heat and set aside.
- Assemble the nacho triangles:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Lay 4 of the flour tortillas flat on a baking sheet.
- Evenly distribute the seasoned ground beef over the tortillas, spreading it out to cover the entire surface.
- Sprinkle the black beans and shredded cheese evenly over the beef.
- Place the remaining 4 tortillas on top, pressing down lightly to seal.
- Brush the tops of the tortillas with olive oil and sprinkle with a little salt and pepper.
- Bake the nacho triangles:
- Using a sharp knife or a pizza cutter, cut each tortilla stack into 6 triangles.
- Arrange the triangles on the baking sheet, making sure they are not overlapping.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the tortillas are crispy and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Prepare the salsa-ranch dipping sauce:
- In a medium bowl, mix together the ranch dressing, salsa, lime juice, and chopped cilantro (if using) until well combined.
- Transfer to a serving bowl.
- Serve and enjoy:
- Remove the nacho triangles from the oven and let them cool slightly.
- Serve the nacho triangles warm with the salsa-ranch dipping sauce on the side.
