Ingredients

• 1 large bag of tortilla chips (about 10-12 cups)
• 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
• 2 cups shredded Monterey Jack cheese
• 1 cup cooked ground beef or chicken, seasoned with taco seasoning
• 1 cup black beans, drained and rinsed
• 1 cup corn kernels (fresh, frozen, or canned)
• 1/2 cup sliced black olives
• 1/2 cup diced tomatoes
• 1/4 cup sliced green onions
• 1/2 cup sour cream
• 1/2 cup salsa
• 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro (optional)
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
• Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a Bundt pan with cooking spray or oil to prevent sticking.
2. Layer the Nachos:
   • Spread a layer of tortilla chips at the bottom of the Bundt pan.
   • Sprinkle a portion of cheddar and Monterey Jack cheese over the chips.
   • Add a layer of seasoned ground beef or chicken, followed by black beans and corn.
   • Repeat the layers, finishing with a generous layer of cheese on top.
3. Bake: Place the Bundt pan in the oven and bake for about 20-25 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
4. Add Toppings: Remove from the oven and carefully invert the Bundt pan onto a serving platter. The nachos should come out in a beautiful ring shape. Top with diced tomatoes, sliced black olives, green onions, and cilantro, if using.
5. Serve: Serve with sour cream and salsa on the side for dipping.
