Ingredients
- 1 pound lean ground beef
- 1 ounce taco seasoning 1 packet
- ⅓ cup water
- ⅔ cup canned black beans drained and rinsed, optional
- 8 ounces tortilla chips
- 4 cups shredded Mexican cheese blend or cheddar and Monterey Jack cheese
- 4 green onions thinly sliced, divided
- toppings as desired see notes
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F.
- In a skillet, brown the ground beef over medium heat until no pink remains. Drain excess fat.
- Stir in the taco seasoning, water, and black beans if using. Simmer for 4 to 5 minutes or until the water is mostly evaporated.
- Meanwhile, spread the tortilla chips onto a rimmed baking sheet. Top with half of the cheese, the beef mixture, and then the remaining cheese. Sprinkle with half of the green onions.
- Bake for 8 to 10 minutes or until cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Remove the pan from the oven and add the remaining green onions & desired toppings. Serve with salsa and sour cream.
Notes
- Replace the beef with shredded or ground chicken. Ensure the beef mixture is cooked until most of the liquid is evaporated so it doesn't make the nachos soggy.
- Pre-shredded cheese blends work well for nachos.
- Flavored tortilla chips (like Doritos) are not recommended. Don't use the thin cantina-style chips.
- Use a combination of hot toppings (cheese, beef, beans) and cold toppings (fresh tomato, cilantro, pickled jalapeno) for great flavor.
- Serving size is 1/8th of the recipe. Nutritional information does not include optional toppings, sour cream, or salsa.
