Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 oz tortilla chips
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1 packet taco seasoning
- 0.25 cup water
- 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- 0.25 cup jalapeño peppers, sliced
- 0.25 cup black olives, sliced
- 0.25 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
- 0.5 cup sour cream
- 0.5 cup pico de gallo
- 1 avocado, diced
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Arrange the tortilla chips evenly on a large baking sheet in a single layer.
In a skillet over medium-high heat, brown the ground beef, breaking it apart with a spoon, until no longer pink, about 6-8 minutes.
Drain excess fat from the skillet.
Add the taco seasoning and water to the beef. Stir well to coat and let simmer for about 5 minutes until the liquid reduces slightly.
Distribute the seasoned beef evenly over the tortilla chips.
Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese generously over the ground beef and chips.
Add the sliced jalapeños and black olives on top of the cheese.
Bake the nachos in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the cheese is fully melted and bubbly.
Once baked, remove the nachos from the oven and let them cool slightly to prevent burns when serving.
Garnish with fresh cilantro and dollops of sour cream.
Finish with spoonfuls of pico de gallo and diced avocado before serving.
Serve immediately, offering extra sour cream and jalapeños on the side if desired.
