Equipment:

• Large skillet
• Baking sheet
• Aluminum foil or parchment paper
• Spatula
• Knife and cutting board

Ingredients: For the Beef:

• 1 lb ground beef
• 1 packet taco seasoning mix
• 1/2 cup water
• 1 small onion, finely chopped (optional)
• 2 cloves garlic, minced

For the Nachos:

• 1 large bag of tortilla chips
• 2 cups shredded cheddar or Mexican blend cheese
• 1/4 cup pickled jalapeños (optional)
• 1 cup refried beans (optional)
• 1/2 cup sour cream
• 1/2 cup guacamole
• 1/4 cup salsa
• 1 cup shredded lettuce
• 1 cup diced tomatoes
• 1/4 cup sliced black olives
• 1/4 cup sliced green onions
• Fresh cilantro for garnish (optional)

Instructions:

1. Preheat the Oven:
   • Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a large baking sheet with aluminum foil or parchment paper.
2. Cook the Ground Beef:
   • In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the onions (if using) until soft and translucent.
   • Add the ground beef, breaking it apart as it cooks. Once browned, drain any excess grease.
   • Add taco seasoning, minced garlic, and water. Stir to combine and simmer for 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens and coats the beef. Set aside.
3. Assemble the Nachos:
   • Spread a generous layer of tortilla chips on the prepared baking sheet.
   • Evenly distribute the refried beans (if using) over the chips, followed by the cooked beef mixture.
   • Sprinkle the shredded cheese on top of the beef and beans.
4. Bake the Nachos:
   • Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the cheese is fully melted and bubbly.
5. Top the Nachos:
   • Once out of the oven, immediately top the nachos with fresh lettuce, diced tomatoes, sliced black olives, pickled jalapeños (if using), and green onions.
6. Add Final Toppings:
   • Garnish with dollops of sour cream, guacamole, and salsa. Sprinkle fresh cilantro over the nachos for an extra burst of flavor.
7. Serve:
   • Serve the nachos directly on the baking sheet for a casual vibe, or transfer them to a large platter for a more formal presentation.

Tips:

• Customize It: Feel free to add more toppings like avocado, corn, or chopped bell peppers for extra flavor.
• Double Layer: For extra indulgence, create two layers of chips, beef, cheese, and toppings before baking.
• Spicy Kick: For more heat, drizzle some hot sauce or sprinkle red pepper flakes on top.
