# What You’ll Need:

→ Meat & Beans

01 - 1 lb ground beef
02 - 1 can (14 oz) black beans, drained and rinsed
03 - 2 tbsp taco seasoning mix
04 - 1 tbsp vegetable oil

09 - 2 ripe avocados, mashed
10 - 1/2 cup prepared salsa
11 - 1 cup chopped cherry tomatoes
12 - 1 small red bell pepper, diced
13 - 1/4 cup sliced black olives
14 - 2 tbsp chopped fresh cilantro

# Step-by-Step Guide:

01 - Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
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 and cook for 2 minutes. Add black beans and cook 2 to 3 minutes until heated through, then remove from heat.
04 - Spread tortilla chips evenly on a large rimmed baking sheet or serving platter in a rectangular layout 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 preheated oven for 8 to 10 minutes until cheese is melted and bubbly.
07 - Allow to cool slightly, then spread mashed avocado in a smooth layer across the chips, leaving a chip border visible to mimic a green soccer field.
08 - Fill a piping bag or resealable plastic bag with sour cream. Snip a small corner and pipe field lines, goal boxes, and a center circle onto the guacamole base.
09 - Use diced red bell pepper as corner flags, black olives as players, and cherry tomatoes with cilantro for crowd and field accents.
10 - Serve immediately with prepared salsa on the side.
