Ingredients

  • ½ Tablespoon olive oil or avocado oil
  • 1 lb ground turkey or ground chicken or lean ground beef
  • 1 ½ Tablespoons taco seasoning
  • 1 cup refried beans
  • ¼ cup water
  • 9 oz tortilla chips
  • 1 oz bag cheddar cheese shredded Mexican style
  • 1 cup Pico de Gallo strained if needed
  • ½ cup red onion diced
  • ½ cup cilantro chopped, fresh
  • ½ cup jalapeños chopped, or 1 fresh jalapeno chopped, pickled
  • 1 avocado chopped or guacamole dollops
  • ½ cup sour cream or Greek yogurt, dollops

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Preheat oven to 400°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil. I used foil
  2. Add a layer of tortilla chips to baking sheet and set aside.
  3. Add oil to a skillet over medium heat. Once hot add ground meat and taco seasoning and saute until meat is cooked through. Add refried beans and water. Stir to combine and heat until warm. Remove from heat.
  4. Add chips to the oven for 4-5 minutes to toast.
  5. Carefully add ½ of the cheese on top and under the chips and kind of toss them around. The cheese will begin to melt a bit and that’s perfect.
  6. Spread ground meat mixture on the chips as well, being sure to spread it out and add some on different layers.
  7. Sprinkle remaining cheese on top.
  8. Bake about 5-6 minutes until cheese has melted.
  9. Remove from oven and add all the toppings. Enjoy immediately.
