**Instructions:**

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Add another layer of tortilla chips.

Sprinkle the remaining black beans, kidney beans, corn, and ground beef.

Prepare the Fresh Toppings:

While the nachos are baking, dice the tomatoes, chop the red onion and cilantro, and dice the avocado.

Once the nachos are out of the oven, top them with the diced tomatoes, chopped red onion, cilantro, and avocado.
