Preheat the oven to 200°C (conventional heat).
Heat a splash of oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Cook the minced beef until crumbly and season with the taco seasoning, salt and pepper. Add the tomato paste, stir well and cook for another 2 minutes. Set the pan aside.
Spread half of the tortilla chips in an even layer over the bottom of the baking dish.
Spoon half of the minced beef mixture over the chips. Then scatter half of the black beans and half of the grated cheese on top.
Repeat with the remaining chips, beef, beans and cheese so you get nice layers.
Slide the dish into the oven uncovered and bake for 10 to 12 minutes, until the cheese is golden and melted and the edges of the chips are nicely crispy.
Remove the dish from the oven. Scatter the jalapeños, cherry tomatoes and spring onions over the top.
Serve immediately at the table with guacamole, sour cream and salsa in small bowls alongside. That way everyone can help themselves and the sharing and tasting begins.

A large baking dish is really the key here. You want enough room for good layering so every chip ends up covered in cheese and filling. Glass baking dishes are ideal: you can see exactly how the cheese melts and the dish then goes straight into the dishwasher. Smart and no-nonsense, just as it should be.
Want to vary? Swap the minced beef for pulled chicken or leave the meat out entirely for a vegetarian version with extra beans and roasted peppers. Add a ripe avocado to your guacamole for extra creaminess and put everything on the table for a moment people will remember for a long time.
