Preheat oven to 425°F.
Line a rimmed half sheet pan with foil or parchment paper.
Add ⅔ of the tortilla chips in an even layer.
Spread the Fritos Scoops in another layer over the chips.
Brown the ground beef in a skillet over medium heat, drain excess grease, then stir in taco seasoning, salsa, and water. Simmer 5 minutes until thickened, then mix in black beans.
Sprinkle shredded cheese in a single layer over the chips and fries.
Spoon the beef mixture evenly over the cheese layer.

Notes
Use preferred salsa heat level.
Double-layer chips (tortilla + Fritos Scoops) for texture.
Serve with optional toppings like jalapeño, olives, cilantro, or sour cream.
