Ingredients
- ½ pound ground beef
- 3 tablespoons homemade taco seasoning, (or storebought)
- ⅓ cup water
- 1/2 cup refried beans
- 8-10 ounces tortilla chips, about half a regular size bag
- 2 cups Mexican-style cheese blend, shredded
- 1/4 cup black beans, drained and rinsed
- ¼ cup red onion, minced
- ½ cup black olives, sliced
- 1 jalapeño, deseeded and sliced
- ½ cup Roma tomatoes, diced
- 1 avocado, chopped
- cilantro, chopped
- Additional toppings: guacamole, sour cream, salsa
Instructions
- Place a cast iron skillet or Dutch oven onto the campfire to heat up.
- Once the skillet is hot, add the ground beef and cook until it is browned all the way through. Add in the taco seasoning and water, stir, and cook until the sauce has reduced.
- Remove the taco-seasoned meat from the skillet. Layer half your chips into the skilled or Dutch oven. Top the chips with half the cheese, half the refried beans, and half the cooked meat.
- Add the rest of your chips in an even layer. Layer on the remaining cheese, refried beans, and meat. Cover with foil, taking care not to burn yourself.
- Cook for about 8-10 minutes, until all the cheese is melted.
- Top the nachos with the toppings or any additional toppings you desire, and enjoy!

Notes
- *I recommend removing the nachos from the skillet to serve, scooping out individual portions onto plates, to avoid getting burned on the hot skillet.
- **Make the taco meat ahead of time before you go camping! Transport it in a chilled container and reheat it over the campfire.
