# Steps to Follow:
01 -
Preheat oven to 400°F. Line a large sheet pan with parchment paper or lightly spray with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
02 -
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook diced onion until translucent, about 3 minutes. Add minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.
03 -
Add ground beef to skillet, breaking apart with a spoon. Cook until no longer pink, about 6-7 minutes. Drain excess fat if needed.
04 -
Sprinkle taco seasoning over cooked beef. Add 1/4 cup water and stir. Simmer for 2-3 minutes until liquid is mostly absorbed and meat is well coated. Remove from heat.
05 -
Spread tortilla chips evenly in a single, slightly overlapping layer across the prepared sheet pan to ensure balanced topping coverage.
06 -
Distribute seasoned beef evenly over chips. Sprinkle black beans, diced green chilies, and corn kernels uniformly.
07 -
Cover toppings with shredded cheese, reaching the edges. Arrange cherry tomato halves, jalapeño slices, and optional black olives on top of cheese.
08 -
Bake for 7-10 minutes until cheese is melted and bubbling, and chip edges begin to brown. Monitor after 7 minutes to avoid burning.
09 -
Remove from oven. Immediately sprinkle chopped cilantro and sliced green onions on top. Serve hot with sour cream, guacamole, and lime wedges on the side.
# Extra Suggestions:
01 -
For optimal crispiness, ensure all canned ingredients are well-drained to prevent sogginess.
02 -
Freshly shredded cheese melts more evenly than pre-shredded variants containing anti-caking agents.
