Instructions

In a skillet over medium heat, brown the ground beef with chopped onion and taco seasoning. Set aside.
In another saucepan, heat the black beans without draining. Season with salt, garlic powder, chili powder, and cumin, then mash slightly and set aside.
In a separate saucepan, melt the diced tomatoes and Velveeta together over medium heat until smooth.
Preheat the oven to 400°F and line a large sheet pan with parchment paper.
Create a circular layer of cheese sauce in the center of the sheet pan and place a can on top of it.
Layer tortilla chips, cheese sauce, meat, beans, and shredded cheese in the can, repeating the layers 3 more times.
Bake the nachos in the oven for 10 minutes.
Prepare pico de gallo with chopped jalapeños, diced tomatoes, cilantro, and lime juice in a bowl.
Once baked, carefully lift the can to reveal the nacho tower. Drizzle with sour cream and BBQ sauce, and top with jalapeño slices, pico de gallo, and pickled onions.

Notes

Feel free to customize toppings based on your preferences.
