Ingredients
For the Beef Nachos:

- 1 packet taco seasoning mix (or homemade taco seasoning)
- 1/4 cup water
- 1 bag tortilla chips (about 10–12 oz)
- 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese (or a mix of cheddar and Monterey Jack)
- 1 cup diced tomatoes (fresh or canned)
- 1/4 cup sliced black olives
- 1/4 cup diced red onion
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro (for garnish)
- 1 jalapeño, sliced (optional)
- 1/4 cup sour cream (for serving)
- Salsa (for serving)
- Guacamole (for serving)
Instructions
-
Cook the Ground Beef:
In a large skillet, cook the ground beef over medium heat until browned. Drain any excess fat. Add the taco seasoning mix and 1/4 cup of water, stirring to combine. Cook for 2-3 minutes until the beef is fully seasoned and the water has mostly evaporated. Set aside. -
Prepare the Nacho Base:
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Spread the tortilla chips evenly on a large baking sheet or oven-safe dish. -
Assemble the Nachos:
Evenly distribute the cooked ground beef over the tortilla chips. Sprinkle the shredded cheese on top, making sure it covers the beef and chips generously. -
Bake the Nachos:
Place the assembled nachos in the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly. -
Top the Nachos:
Once the nachos are out of the oven, top them with diced tomatoes, black olives, red onion, jalapeños (if using), and fresh cilantro. -
Serve:
Serve the nachos immediately with sides of sour cream, salsa, and guacamole.
Notes
- For Extra Flavor: Add some green onions, bell peppers, or even corn to the nachos for more color and flavor.
- Spicy Kick: If you prefer spicier nachos, drizzle some hot sauce or add more jalapeños on top.
- Make it Vegetarian: Skip the ground beef and use seasoned black beans or refried beans as the base for a meatless option.
- Storage: Leftover nachos are best stored without the toppings. Store the beef and cheese separately and reassemble when ready to eat.
