Start by adding a layer of tortilla chips to the bottom of the bowl and then drizzle with a layer of the warmed queso dip.
Next, add some of the taco meat.
Now add a bit of shredded cheese and some black beans.
Then we are back to the tortilla chips. Continue layers until you reach the top of your container.
To serve, invert the container of nachos over a serving platter or baking sheet. slowly lift the container to reveal the layers of nachos.
Garnish by adding the diced onions, tomatoes, and jalapenos.
Finally, drizzle or top some guacamole and sour cream on top. Serve and enjoy!

Notes

*In place of ground meat, try shredded chicken or pulled pork. When cooking the meat for the nachos, use your favorite taco seasoning.

What should I assemble the nachos in?

You probably have many items in your kitchen that would work perfectly to assemble the layered nachos.

I like to use the insert for my rice cooker or Instant Pot.
You can use a Dutch oven or large pan.
A bowl works great. One that is narrow at the bottom and wide at the top will create more of a pyramid shape rather than just layers.
A coffee can or container, washed out well, is great for a taller stack of nachos.
