Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 ounces tortilla chips
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 can (10 ounces) Rotel diced tomatoes and green chilies
- 16 ounces processed cheese (such as Velveeta)
- 0.5 red onion, diced
- 1 jalapeño, sliced
- 0.5 cup sour cream (optional)
- 2 tablespoons cilantro, chopped
- 1 teaspoon cooking oil
- 1 packet (1 ounce) taco seasoning
Instructions
Heat 1 teaspoon of cooking oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add the ground beef to the skillet and cook until browned, breaking it up with a spatula as it cooks, about 5-7 minutes.
Drain any excess grease from the skillet, then stir in the taco seasoning and 2 tablespoons of water (if instructed on the seasoning packet). Cook for an additional 2 minutes, then remove from heat and set aside.
In a medium saucepan, combine the processed cheese and the can of Rotel (including the liquid from the can). Cook over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally, until the cheese is fully melted and the mixture is smooth, about 5 minutes.
Arrange the tortilla chips evenly on a large serving platter or baking sheet.
Spoon the ground beef mixture evenly over the tortilla chips.
Pour the melted cheese and Rotel mixture slowly over the chips and beef, ensuring even coverage.
Sprinkle diced red onion, sliced jalapeños, and chopped cilantro over the top. Add a dollop of sour cream if desired.
Serve immediately and enjoy!
