Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a large skillet over medium heat, brown the lean ground beef until fully cooked, about 7-9 minutes. Drain any excess fat.
Add the salt-free taco seasoning and water to the cooked beef. Stir well to combine and let it simmer for 3-4 minutes or until the mixture thickens.
Spread the low sodium tortilla chips evenly across a large oven-safe platter or baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Evenly distribute the seasoned ground beef over the chips.
In a small saucepan over medium heat, warm the low sodium refried beans until they are easily spreadable, about 5 minutes. Add small spoonfuls of beans over the beef and chips.
Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the top evenly.
Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake until the cheese is melted and bubbly, about 5-7 minutes.
Carefully remove the nachos from the oven and let them cool for a minute.
Top the nachos with fresh diced tomatoes, reduced fat sour cream, chopped green onions, fresh jalapeño slices, and cilantro leaves.
Serve immediately and enjoy your delicious Low Sodium Nachos Bell Grande!
