Instructions
1
Prep
Dice 1 white onion finely, mince 2 garlic cloves, drain and rinse 100g black beans, mash 2 ripe avocados with 1 tbsp lime juice and a pinch of salt. Have 200g tortilla chips, 150g grated cheddar, 3 tbsp pickled jalapeños, and 4 tbsp sour cream ready.
2
Sear
Heat 1 tbsp vegetable oil in a skillet over high heat. Add 300g beef mince, break it up, cook 5–6 minutes until deeply browned. Add diced onion, cook 3 minutes until softened.
3
Bloom
Add minced garlic, 1 tsp chipotle chilli powder, 1 tsp smoked paprika, 0.5 tsp cumin, and 0.5 tsp salt. Cook 1 minute, stirring, until fragrant.

Build
Spread tortilla chips in a single layer on a large ovenproof tray. Spoon spiced beef evenly over chips. Scatter black beans and pickled jalapeños over beef, then cover with grated cheddar.
5
Bake
Place in a preheated 200°C oven for 8–10 minutes until cheese is fully melted and beginning to bubble. Watch for bubbling cheese as doneness cue.
