Instant Pot Cheesy Beef Nachos

A fully loaded nacho is a wonderful thing. Crisp chips, flavour packed beef and stretchy cheese. Oh so good. But when you reach the bottom and you pick a chip with no cheese??? That is the worst! So I have a few simple steps to ensure you get the perfect combination of meat to cheese to chip!

Ingredients

  • 2 ½  cups taco meat (recipe here)
  • 12 oz tortilla chips
  • 2 cups shredded cheese (see notes)
  • 3 tablespoon sour cream
  • small handful chopped fresh coriander/cilantro leaves

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Preheat oven to 200ºC/400ºF.
  2. Place the taco meat in the microwave and heat for 2-3 minutes until warmed through.
  3. Line a baking sheet with non-stick cooking paper (or lightly grease)
  4. Lay out one third of the tortilla chips in a single layer onto the baking sheet.
  5. Sprinkle over about a third of the cheese.
  6. Top with a third of the meat.
  7. Repeat: ⅓ chips, ⅓ cheese, ⅓ taco meat.
  8. For the final layer, first the remaining chips, add the final third of meat to this and top with the remaining cheese.
  9. Place into oven and bake for about 6 minutes until the cheese has melted but the chips aren't burnt!
  10. Add a good dollop of sour cream to the top and then sprinkle over the coriander.

Notes

  • Use a mixture of your favourite cheese. Cheddar, Monterey Jack, Mozzarella, Colby and Tasty (An Australia cheddar style cheese) all work well.
