Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb Ground beef
- 1 medium, diced Yellow onion
- 2 cloves, minced Garlic
- 1 tsp Chili powder
- 1 tsp Smoked paprika
- 0.5 tsp Ground cayenne pepper
- 1 tsp Salt
- 0.5 tsp Black pepper
- 12 oz bag Tortilla chips
- 2 cups, shredded Cheddar cheese
- 1 cup, shredded Pepper jack cheese
- 0.5 cup, sliced Pickled jalapeños
- 2 medium, diced Tomatoes
- 3 stalks, thinly sliced Green onions
- 0.5 cup Sour cream
- 2 tbsp (optional) Hot sauce
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a large skillet over medium-high heat, cook the ground beef until browned, about 6-8 minutes, breaking it up with a wooden spoon as it cooks.
Add the diced onion to the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes, until softened.
Stir in the minced garlic, chili powder, smoked paprika, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, ensuring the beef is fully seasoned.
Spread the tortilla chips evenly over a baking sheet or large oven-safe platter.
Layer the seasoned ground beef mixture evenly over the tortilla chips.
Sprinkle the shredded cheddar and pepper jack cheeses over the beef and chips, covering them generously.
Scatter the pickled jalapeño slices on top of the cheese.
Bake the nachos 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 and sliced green onions.
Drizzle with sour cream (use a spoon or piping bag for a cleaner look) and optional hot sauce if desired.
Serve immediately and enjoy your Spicy Cheeseburger Nachos!
