In a large skillet on medium heat, add ground beef and begin browning meat.
Add chopped onion and continue browning.
Add some salt, cumin, chili powder, and black pepper to begin seasoning as the ground beef browns.
Once the meat is browned, drain the excess grease.
Add the kidney and refried beans and stir into the ground beef.
Add ¼ can water. Stir ingredients until well-mixed.
Add brown sugar and more cumin and chili powder.
Stir and simmer for 5 minutes.
large baking sheet (pizza pan works great!), spread out corn tortilla chips--thicker, sturdier chips work best.
Spoon and sprinkle the ground beef mixture over the chips.
Top nachos with diced tomato, sliced jalapenos, black olives, and the chopped bottoms of the green onions.
Sprinkle the top with cheese.
Slide the baking sheet into the oven (preheated at 400 degrees F) and let cook approx.
15 minutes or until the cheese is melted and the nachos heated through.
Remove from the oven and top with chopped green onion tops and cilantro.
Serve with sour cream, salsa, or guacamole, and eat 'em while they're hot.
