Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients:

1 bag (10 oz) tortilla chips
1 lb ground beef or ground turkey
1 packet taco seasoning mix
1/4 cup water
1 can (15 oz) black beans, drained and rinsed
2 cups shredded Mexican cheese blend
1/2 cup sliced olives
1/2 cup diced tomatoes
1/4 cup chopped green onions
1/4 cup jalapeño slices (optional)
Nonstick cooking spray

For Topping:

Sour cream
Salsa or sweet chili sauce
Guacamole or sliced avocado
Cilantro or chopped parsley

Instructions

Cook the Meat: Heat a skillet over medium heat. Add ground beef or turkey and cook until browned. Drain excess fat, then stir in taco seasoning and water. Simmer 5 minutes.
Prepare the Pan: Spray a Bundt pan generously with nonstick cooking spray to prevent sticking.
Layer the Ingredients: Add a layer of tortilla chips, then beef, beans, olives, and cheese. Repeat layers until full, finishing with cheese on top.
Bake: Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Bake for 15–20 minutes, or until cheese is melted and bubbly.
Flip and Serve: Let cool 5 minutes. Invert onto a serving platter and lift off the pan to reveal a nacho “cake.” Serve immediately with sour cream, salsa, and guacamole.

Notes

Customization: Swap beef for turkey, chicken, or sautéed veggies for a vegetarian version.
Serving Ideas: Garnish with green onions, jalapeños, or fresh cilantro. Serve on a cake stand for a fun presentation.
Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge up to 2 days. Reheat in the oven or air fryer for crispy results.
Tips: Use thicker tortilla chips to avoid sogginess. Let cool slightly before flipping to keep the ring shape intact.
Variations: Add scrambled eggs for brunch nachos or festive peppers and cheese drizzle for Christmas-themed nachos.
