Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb ground beef
- 2 tbsp taco seasoning
- 0.25 cup water
- 6 cups tortilla chips
- 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 cup diced tomatoes
- 0.33 cup sliced black olives
- 0.25 cup diced red onion
- 0.25 cup sliced jalapeños (optional)
- 0.5 cup sour cream
- 0.5 cup guacamole
- 2 tbsp chopped fresh cilantro
Instructions
Heat a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef and cook, breaking it up with a spoon, until browned and fully cooked, about 5-7 minutes. Drain any excess fat from the skillet.
Stir in the taco seasoning and water. Cook for another 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mixture is well combined and saucy.
Preheat your oven’s broiler to high.
Spread the tortilla chips evenly into the skillet over the beef mixture.
Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the chips and beef.
Place the skillet under the broiler for 2-3 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbling. Keep a close eye on it to avoid burning.
Remove the skillet from the oven. Top with diced tomatoes, black olives, red onion, and jalapeños, if using.
Dollop sour cream and guacamole over the toppings in small spoonfuls.
Garnish with chopped fresh cilantro and serve immediately. Enjoy!
