03 - 2 tbsp taco seasoning mix
04 - 1 tbsp vegetable oil

10 - ½ cup prepared salsa
11 - 1 cup chopped cherry tomatoes
12 - 1 small red bell pepper, diced
13 - ¼ cup sliced black olives
14 - 2 tbsp chopped fresh cilantro

# How to Make It:

01 - Preheat the oven to 400°F.
02 - Heat vegetable oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add ground beef and cook until browned, about 5 to 7 minutes. Drain excess fat.
03 - Stir in taco seasoning and 2 tablespoons of water; cook for 2 minutes. Add black beans and cook for an additional 2 to 3 minutes until heated through. Remove from heat.
04 - Arrange tortilla chips in a rectangular shape on a large rimmed baking sheet or serving platter to resemble a soccer field.
05 - Evenly spoon the beef and bean mixture over the chips. Sprinkle shredded cheddar and Monterey Jack cheeses on top.
06 - Bake in the preheated oven for 8 to 10 minutes until cheese is melted and bubbly.
07 - Allow the platter to cool slightly. Spread mashed avocado evenly over the nachos, leaving a chip border to mimic a green soccer field.
08 - Fill a piping bag or zip-top bag with sour cream, snip a small corner, and pipe field lines, goal boxes, and center circle onto the guacamole.
09 - Use diced red bell pepper pieces for corner flags, sliced black olives for players, and cherry tomatoes with cilantro to represent fans or field accents.
10 - Serve immediately with salsa on the side.
