Step 1
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add ground beef, breaking it up with a spoon as it cooks, until no pink remains, ~6 minutes.

Stir in chili powder and cumin until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Season with salt and pepper.
Step 3
Spread tortilla chips on a large plate or shallow baking dish in a single layer.
Step 4
Spoon seasoned beef over the chips, then scatter cheese and jalapeños on top.

Microwave uncovered for 2 minutes until cheese melts, or broil 3 inches from the heat for 2–3 minutes.
