Loaded Nachos Supreme is a must-try recipe for any party or casual get-together. These nachos are packed with layers of flavor and texture that make every bite an adventure. They're perfect for sharing and are guaranteed to be a hit with friends and family!
Ground beef provides the hearty, savory foundation of the nachos. Choose lean beef to reduce excess grease. Taco seasoning brings that classic Mexican flavor that ties everything together. A splash of water helps the seasoning blend evenly with the beef. A sturdy bag of tortilla chips acts as the crunchy base for all your toppings.
Cheddar cheese adds a sharp, tangy note, while Monterey Jack cheese provides a creamy, mild contrast that melts beautifully. Black beans add protein and a creamy texture, balancing the meatiness of the beef. Diced tomatoes offer freshness and juiciness, while sliced black olives introduce a briny, savory element.
Jalapeños bring just the right amount of heat to tickle your taste buds. Green onions add a fresh, mild bite, and fresh cilantro gives a burst of herby citrus flavor. Sour cream cools down the spice and adds creaminess, while diced avocado offers a rich, buttery texture. Finally, a squeeze of lime wedges brightens everything up with a zingy finish.
Pair these loaded nachos with a side of homemade guacamole or a fresh salsa for even more flavor. They're also fantastic with a cold beer or a refreshing margarita. If you're hosting a party, consider setting up a nacho bar where guests can customize their own plates with extra toppings like pickled jalapeños, diced onions, or shredded lettuce.
Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lining a large baking sheet with aluminum foil. This makes cleanup a breeze! In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until it's browned. Make sure to break it up into small pieces as it cooks. Once done, drain any excess fat.
Next, add the taco seasoning and 1/4 cup of water to the beef. Stir everything together and let it simmer for about five minutes. This helps the beef soak up all that delicious flavor. While the beef is cooking, arrange half of your tortilla chips on the prepared baking sheet. Then, sprinkle half of the cheddar cheese, Monterey Jack cheese, and seasoned beef over the chips.
Layer the remaining chips on top, followed by the rest of the cheese and beef. Now, it's time to add the black beans, diced tomatoes, black olives, jalapeños, and green onions. This is where the nachos start to really come to life! Pop the baking sheet in your preheated oven and bake for 10-15 minutes, just until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Once they're out of the oven, sprinkle the fresh cilantro over the top. Serve immediately, topping your nachos with dollops of sour cream and diced avocado. Don't forget to have those lime wedges on the side for anyone who wants an extra tangy kick.
