Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 cups Tortilla chips
- 1 pound Ground beef
- 2 tablespoons Taco seasoning
- 0.25 cup Water
- 1 cup Refried beans
- 2 cups Shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 cup Shredded Monterey Jack cheese
- 1 cup Diced tomatoes
- 0.5 cup Sliced black olives
- 0.25 cup Sliced jalapeños
- 0.25 cup Chopped green onions
- 0.5 cup Sour cream
- 0.5 cup Guacamole
- 2 tablespoons Cilantro leaves (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until browned, breaking it up with a wooden spoon, about 6–8 minutes.
Drain any excess grease from the skillet, then stir in the taco seasoning and 1/4 cup of water. Cook until the seasoning is well combined and the mixture thickens, about 2–3 minutes. Set aside.
Spread a layer of tortilla chips on a large oven-safe platter or sheet pan.
Spoon dollops of refried beans over the tortilla chips, spreading them out evenly.
Scatter the seasoned ground beef over the beans.
Sprinkle the shredded cheddar and Monterey Jack cheeses evenly over the entire platter.
Bake in the preheated oven for 8–10 minutes or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Once out of the oven, top the nachos with diced tomatoes, sliced black olives, and jalapeños.
Sprinkle the chopped green onions evenly over the top.
Add dollops of sour cream and guacamole as desired.
Garnish with fresh cilantro leaves, if using.
Serve immediately and enjoy your Nacho Grande Ixtapa!
