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
# Method:
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 an additional 2 to 3 minutes until heated through. Remove from heat.
04 - Spread tortilla chips evenly on a large rimmed baking sheet or serving platter to form a rectangular shape resembling a soccer field.
05 - Distribute the beef and bean mixture evenly over the chips. Sprinkle shredded cheddar and Monterey Jack cheeses on top.
06 - Bake in the preheated oven for 8 to 10 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
07 - Allow to cool slightly. Spread mashed avocados in a smooth layer over the cheesy chips, leaving a visible border to resemble the field.
08 - Fill a piping or zip-top bag with sour cream. Snip a small corner and pipe lines, goal boxes, and the center circle onto the guacamole surface.
09 - Use diced red bell pepper pieces for corner flags, sliced black olives as players, and cherry tomatoes with cilantro to decorate as fans or accents.
10 - Serve immediately with salsa on the side.
