Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound of ground beef
- 1/2 diced yellow onion
- 2 packages of sturdy tortilla chips
- 1 can of refried beans
- 1 cup of shredded cheese (cheddar or a blend)
- 1 jalapeño, sliced (optional for those who like it spicy)
- Sour cream (for serving)
- Salsa (for serving)
- Chopped cilantro (for garnish)
Instructions
- Preheat Your Oven: Get that oven fired up to 350°F (175°C). This will make sure your nachos achieve that glorious meltiness!
- Sauté the Onion: In a skillet over medium heat, toss in your diced onion. Cook until it’s beautifully translucent. This should take about 3 minutes—watching it become aromatic is half the fun!
- Brown the Beef: Add the ground beef to the pan along with your favorite taco seasoning. Cook until the beef is browned and cooked all the way through—about 7-10 minutes. Your kitchen will already be smelling like a fiesta!
- Build Your Nachos: Grab a large baking sheet and spread those sturdy tortilla chips out evenly. Remember, the sturdier the chip, the better it holds the toppings—it’s a nacho law! 😉
- Layer It Up: Spoon the refried beans over the chips, then layer on that glorious beef mixture. Top it all off with a mountain of shredded cheese and sliced jalapeños if you’re feeling adventurous.
- Bake: Slide the baking sheet into the oven and let those nachos bake for about 10-15 minutes or until the cheese is melted and bubbly. Check on them occasionally—you don’t want them getting too toasty!
- Serve It Up: Once they’re out, let your nachos cool for a minute before diving in. Serve with dollops of sour cream, fresh salsa, and a sprinkle of cilantro for that extra fresh touch.
Notes
- Feeling extra lazy? No judgment here! You can use pre-cooked ground beef or even shredded rotisserie chicken for a major time-saver.
- Want to make it vegetarian? Just swap out the beef for black beans and load up on extra veggies!
- If you accidentally make too many nachos (is that even possible?), they can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for a day. Just be aware that the chips might lose some crunch—microwave them briefly to crisp them back up!
