Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 16 oz Velveeta cheese
- 10 oz Diced tomatoes with green chilies (Rotel)
- 12 oz Tortilla chips
- 1 lb Ground beef (optional)
- 1 packet Taco seasoning
- 0.25 cup Sliced jalapeños (optional, for topping)
- 0.5 cup Sour cream (optional, for topping)
- 2 tbsp Chopped cilantro (optional, for garnish)
- 0.25 cup Diced onions (optional, for topping)
Instructions
Cut the Velveeta cheese into small cubes to ensure it melts evenly.
In a medium saucepan over low heat, combine the Velveeta cheese cubes and the diced tomatoes with green chilies (including the liquid). Stir occasionally until the mixture is smooth and fully melted, about 10 minutes.
If adding ground beef, heat a skillet over medium heat. Add the ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it apart with a spoon, about 7-10 minutes. Drain any excess grease.
Stir in the taco seasoning with the cooked ground beef and prepare it according to the package instructions (typically adding water and simmering). Set aside once fully cooked.
On a large serving platter or individual plates, arrange a layer of tortilla chips.
Drizzle the melted Velveeta cheese mixture generously over the tortilla chips.
Top the nachos with the seasoned ground beef, if using.
Optional: Add additional toppings such as sliced jalapeños, sour cream, diced onions, and chopped cilantro for extra flavor and texture.
Serve immediately and enjoy!
