Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Ground beef
- 2 tablespoons Taco seasoning
- 0.25 cup Water
- 8 ounces Tortilla chips
- 2 cups Shredded cheddar cheese
- 0.5 cup Pico de gallo
- 1 cup Guacamole or diced avocado
- 0.5 cup Sour cream
- 0.25 cup Sliced black olives
- 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil for easy cleanup.
Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it up with a spoon or spatula as it cooks, about 5-7 minutes.
Once the beef is fully cooked, drain any excess grease. Stir in the taco seasoning and 1/4 cup of water. Let the mixture simmer for 2-3 minutes, then remove from heat.
Spread the tortilla chips in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring even coverage so all chips get topped.
Sprinkle half of the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the chips. Add the cooked taco-seasoned beef on top, spreading it out evenly. Finish with the remaining cheese.
Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the cheese is completely melted and bubbly.
Carefully remove the nachos from the oven and let them cool slightly. Top with pico de gallo, guacamole or diced avocado, sour cream, sliced black olives, and fresh cilantro, if using.
Serve immediately and enjoy your Mini Taco Nachos!
