  • Prep time: 15 mins
  • Cook time: 10 mins
  • Heat Level: Extreme

Ingredients:

  • 1 bag (13-18 oz) restaurant-style tortilla chips
  • 1 lb ground beef, cooked and seasoned with taco seasoning
  • 2 cups shredded cheddar or Monterey Jack cheese
  • 1-2 fresh ghost peppers, finely diced (use gloves!)
  • 1 can (15 oz) black beans, rinsed and drained

Instructions:

  1. Preheat and Prep: Preheat oven to 400 degrees (or broiler on high). Line a large baking sheet with foil for easy cleanup.
  2. Layer: Spread a layer of chips on the baking sheet. Top with the cooked, seasoned ground beef, black beans, and the diced ghost peppers.
  3. Cheese: Sprinkle generously with shredded cheese.
  4. Bake: Bake or broil for 3-5 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Finish & Serve: Remove from the oven and top with sour cream, guacamole, and other fresh ingredients. Serve immediately.

Tips For Success

  • Handle with Care: Wear gloves when handling ghost peppers and avoid touching your face.
  • Balance the Heat: The high fat content in cheese, sour cream, and avocado helps counteract the capsaicin in the peppers.
  • Alternative Base: For a low-carb option, use mini bell peppers halved and roasted instead of chips.
            • CAUTION: USE GLOVES WHILE HANDLING GHOST PEPPERS TO AVOID CONTACT WITH SKIN.
