Combine all of the zesty cilantro sauce ingredients in a blender and blend until smooth.
Preheat oven to 425
In a large oven proof skillet (preferably cast iron) cook the ground beef and break into small pieces. Strain the grease from the meat and then add it back to the hot skillet with the packet of taco seasoning and 1/2 cup of water. Let simmer until most of the liquid is gone.
Remove meat from pan.
In the same pan add half the amount of corn chips, half the taco meat, cheese, corn, bell pepper and black beans. Then top with 2 tablespoons of the zesty cilantro sauce.
Layer the rest of the chips, beef, corn, black beans, peppers, 2 tablespoons zesty cilantro sauce and the remaining cheese.
Bake for 15 minutes or until cheese is melted and nachos are heated through.
Top with more sauce if desired and serve while warm.
