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!
