· 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
· 3/4 teaspoon sea salt

INSTRUCTIONS
1. Preheat the oven to 400°F.
2. Cook the onions and impossible meat: Heat the olive oil in a medium nonstick pan or cast-iron skillet. Cook the onions for 5 minutes until they are caramelized. Add the impossible beef, chili powder, cumin and sea salt. Break the beef up with a wooden spoon and cook until it browns, about 8 to 10 minutes. Remove from the heat and set aside.
3. Line the pan with tortilla chips.
4. Add the toppings: Add the bell pepper, black beans, corn, black olives, and cheese.
5. Bake the nachos: Bake the nachos in the oven for about 5 to 7 minutes, or until the cheese melts and becomes bubbly.
6. Drizzle the sour cream and serve: Remove the sheet pan from the oven and sprinkle with the fresh cilantro, tomatoes, scallions and avocado. Using a squeeze bottle drizzle the sour cream on top of the nachos.
