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 or homemade mix
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 1 small onion finely chopped (optional)
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • For the Nachos:
  • 1 large bag tortilla chips
  • 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese or Mexican blend
  • 1 cup shredded lettuce
  • 1 cup diced tomatoes
  • 1/4 cup sliced black olives
  • 1/4 cup pickled jalapeños optional
  • 1/4 cup sliced green onions
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1/2 cup guacamole
  • 1/4 cup salsa
  • Fresh cilantro chopped (optional)

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the Oven:
  • Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a large baking sheet with aluminum foil or parchment paper.
  • Cook the Ground Beef:
  • In a large skillet over medium heat, brown the ground beef until fully cooked, breaking it up with a spatula as it cooks.
  • Drain any excess grease, then add the taco seasoning, water, and minced garlic. Stir to combine and cook for another 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens and coats the beef. Set aside.
  • Assemble the Nachos:
  • Spread an even layer of tortilla chips on the prepared baking sheet.
  • Spoon the seasoned ground beef over the chips, making sure to distribute it evenly.
  • Sprinkle shredded cheddar or Mexican blend cheese generously over the beef.
  • Bake:
  • Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the cheese is fully melted and bubbly.
  • Add Toppings:
  • Once the nachos are out of the oven, start layering on the fresh toppings: shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, sliced black olives, pickled jalapeños (if using), and sliced green onions.
  • Finish with the Final Touches:
  • Add dollops of sour cream, guacamole, and salsa across the nachos. Garnish with fresh cilantro if desired.
  • Serve Immediately:
  • Serve the nachos directly from the baking sheet, or transfer them to a platter for a neater presentation.

Notes

Cheese Tip: For extra cheesy nachos, add a second layer of chips, beef, and cheese before baking.
Customization: Feel free to customize your nachos with additional toppings like refried beans, corn, or diced avocado.
