Ingredients

1 lb ground beef
1 packet taco seasoning
1 bag tortilla chips
2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
1 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese
1/2 cup sliced jalapeños
1/2 cup chopped tomatoes
1/4 cup sliced black olives
1/4 cup chopped green onions
1/2 cup sour cream
1/2 cup guacamole
1/4 cup chopped cilantro

Step-by-step Instructions

First things first, set your oven to preheat at 375°F (190°C). While that’s warming up, grab a skillet and place it over medium heat. Toss in the ground beef and let it cook until it’s nicely browned, which should take about 6-8 minutes. Once browned, drain any excess fat to keep your nachos from getting greasy. Stir in the taco seasoning and let it mingle with the beef for another 2 minutes to really infuse those flavors.

Next, take a large baking sheet and spread out half of your tortilla chips in an even layer. Now, it’s time to start layering: sprinkle half of the cooked beef over the chips, followed by a generous handful of cheddar cheese and Monterey Jack cheese. Scatter half of the jalapeños, tomatoes, black olives, and green onions evenly over the top. Repeat this process with the remaining chips and toppings to build a second layer.

Pop the baking sheet into your preheated oven and let it bake for 10-15 minutes. Keep an eye on it—you’ll know it’s ready when the cheese is melted and bubbly. Once out of the oven, let it cool for a minute or two before adding the final touches. Spoon dollops of sour cream and guacamole over your masterpiece, and sprinkle with cilantro for a fresh finish.

Tips & Tricks

  • If you prefer less spice, remove the seeds from the jalapeños before slicing.
  • For extra crispy chips, pre-bake them for about 5 minutes before adding toppings.
  • Make cleanup easier by lining your baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Use a mix of cheeses for a complex flavor profile.

Serving Suggestions

These nachos are perfect for sharing, so set them out in the center of the table and let everyone dig in. For a heartier meal, pair them with a side of Mexican rice or refried beans. If you’re serving these at a party, consider setting up a toppings bar so guests can customize their own plates. A pitcher of cold margaritas or a few bottles of your favorite craft beer will complement the flavors perfectly.

Ingredients Explained

Ground beef forms the savory base of these nachos, bringing a hearty, meaty flavor. Taco seasoning adds a punch of spices, enhancing the beef with classic Mexican flavors. Tortilla chips serve as the crunchy foundation, perfect for holding all the delicious toppings. Shredded cheddar cheese and Monterey Jack cheese melt beautifully, creating a gooey, cheesy layer that ties everything together. Sliced jalapeños add just the right amount of heat, while chopped tomatoes provide a fresh, juicy contrast. Sliced black olives contribute a briny tang, and chopped green onions give a mild, oniony kick. Topping it all off, creamy sour cream and guacamole balance the flavors with rich textures, while chopped cilantro adds a fresh, herbaceous finish.
