Ingredients
Scale
Meat and Seasoning
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 ounce packet taco seasoning
- 2/3 cup water
Base
- 26–32 restaurant-style tortilla chips
- 1/2–1/3 cup refried beans
Cheese and Toppings
- 1 1/2 cups nacho cheese or queso cheese dip (jarred or homemade)
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 1/2 cup diced tomatoes
- 2 tablespoons green onions, chopped
Instructions
- Cook the Beef: In a skillet over medium heat, cook and crumble 1 pound of ground beef until browned and cooked through. Drain any excess grease to avoid soggy nachos.
- Add Seasoning: Stir in a 1 ounce packet of taco seasoning along with 2/3 cup water. Simmer the mixture for about 5 minutes, allowing it to thicken into a flavorful sauce. Keep warm.
- Warm Refried Beans: Heat 1/2 to 1/3 cup of refried beans in a small saucepan or microwave until smooth and spreadable.
- Assemble Chips and Beans: On a large plate or shallow bowl, arrange 26-32 restaurant-style tortilla chips in an even layer. Spoon small dollops of the warm refried beans evenly across the chips.
- Add Beef Layer: Evenly distribute the seasoned ground beef over the chips and beans layer.
- Drizzle Cheese: Pour 1 1/2 cups of warm nacho cheese or queso cheese dip generously over the beef and beans.
- Finish with Toppings: Add dollops of 1/2 cup sour cream, then sprinkle 1/2 cup diced tomatoes and 2 tablespoons chopped green onions over the top for freshness and color.
Notes
- For added spice, consider adding jalapeños or a dash of hot sauce.
- Use fresh homemade nacho cheese sauce for better flavor.
- To keep chips crispy, assemble just before serving.
- Refried beans can be substituted with black beans for a different texture.
