A recipe for fully loaded nachos, perfect for sharing at parties or game days. This recipe focuses on layering to prevent sogginess and includes seasoned ground beef, melted cheese, and your favorite toppings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 bag (10-13 oz) tortilla chips
  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 1 packet taco seasoning
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese
  • 1 (4 oz) can diced green chilies, drained
  • 1 (2.25 oz) can sliced black olives, drained
  • 1/2 cup pickled jalapeño slices
  • Optional toppings: sour cream, guacamole, salsa, chopped cilantro, diced tomatoes, chopped onions

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Cook the ground beef in a skillet over medium-high heat until browned. Drain off any excess fat.
  3. Stir in the taco seasoning and water. Bring to a simmer and cook for 2-3 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened.
  4. Spread half of the tortilla chips in a single layer on a large baking sheet.
  5. Top the chips with half of the seasoned ground beef, half of the shredded cheeses, half of the green chilies, half of the black olives, and half of the jalapeños.
  6. Repeat the layers with the remaining chips, beef, cheeses, chilies, olives, and jalapeños.
  7. Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  8. Remove from the oven and add your desired optional toppings. Serve immediately.

Notes

  • For crispier nachos, you can toast the chips lightly in the oven before adding the toppings.
  • Ensure you layer your toppings evenly to get a bit of everything in each bite.
  • Consider a mix of cheeses for a richer flavor.
