Notes

Use fresh ground beef for this recipe and use extra lean. This is not the type of recipe that requires high fat content on the meat.
Also try it with LAMB like this Lamb Tacos blend.
The taco seasoning can be store bought or homemade, it’s a simple blend that you can customize to your taste.
Cilantro is a major flavor in nachos, however you can use parsley if you’re not a fan of it.
Likewise the jalapeños add a wonderful kick, but you can totally skip them.
Make sure you cook the beef really well before proceeding with the recipe. The meat will not be cooking in the oven, it should be fully cooked before assembling.
You can add the black beans to the pan once the meat is fully cooked, or you can use fried black beans or just plain black beans.
When it comes to chips, use your favorite brand.
Similarly the cheese is totally up to your taste. We used a combo of Monterey jack and cheddar.
To layer the nachos , use an oven safe plate as your serving plate. Melt the cheese over the chips and then add the beef so it glues ontop of the cheese in the oven.
Load up your favorite sauces and toppings once out of the oven and it’s reayd to serve.
Nachos are BEST served fresh out of the oven and loaded with your favorite toppings.
You can store leftovers in the fridge in airtight container, but they will get soggy.
To reheat, you can place them in an air fryer at 350 degrees F for 4 minutes or in a baking sheet in the oven for 10 minutes.
It’s best to reheat without any fresh toppings, and to re-add them once heated through. That includes salsas and guacamole.
You can freeze the cooked meat for up to 4 months in the freezer. Nothing else is worth freezing as it loses texture dramatically.
To prepare in advance, the best thing to do is have the toppings ready, cheese grated, sauces done. And the beef cooked up to 4 days in advance and stored in the fridge. Then all you have left is assembling.
YOUR favourites! We love the classic sour cream, scallions, pickled jalapenos, black olives, , Nacho Cheese Sauce Recipe, Homemade Salsa and guacamole.
However you can use: Queso, Mango Pico De Gallo, Black Bean and Corn Salad.
