Author: Alex Snodgrass

Ingredients

For the Quick Chili:

  • 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1 garlic clove, minced
  • 2 tablespoons tomato paste
  • 1/2 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 (15-ounce) can black beans, rinsed and drained
  • kosher salt, to taste
  • freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 1/2 cup beef broth

For the Quick Guacamole:

  • 2 ripe avocados
  • 1/8 teaspoon cumin
  • kosher salt, to taste
  • freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • juice of 1 lime
  • 1 garlic clove, minced
  • 1 tablespoon freshly chopped cilantro

For the Nachos:

  • 1-2 bags grain-free tortilla chips
  • 1-2 cups shredded cheese, such as Mexican blend
  • sour cream, for topping
  • 2 radishes, sliced into small matchsticks
  • 1/2 jalapeno pepper, very thinly sliced
  • homemade or store-bought pico de gallo, for topping
  • freshly chopped cilantro, for topping

Instructions

Make the Quick Chili:

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F.
  • Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef and cook, breaking up the meat with the edge of a spoon until it is cooked through and no longer pink, about 8 minutes.
  • Reduce the heat to medium. Add the garlic, tomato paste, chili powder, paprika, cumin, black beans, salt, and pepper. Cook for 2 minutes.
  • Pour in the broth, stir, and cook until the mixture has thickened, about 3 minutes. Remove from heat and cover to keep warm.

Make the Quick Guacamole:

  • In a medium mixing bowl, add the avocados, cumin, salt, pepper, lime juice, garlic, and cilantro. Mash until it reaches your desired consistency.

Assemble the Nachos:

  • Spread the tortilla chips across a large baking sheet. Spoon the quick chili all over the top in an even layer. Top with cheese and bake until the cheese has just melted, about 5 minutes.
  • Remove from oven and top with the guacamole, sour cream, radishes, jalapeño peppers, pico de gallo, and cilantro. Serve immediately and enjoy!
