Create a crowd-pleasing platter of loaded nachos perfect for game day gatherings. This recipe ensures every chip is topped for maximum flavor and enjoyment.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 bag tortilla chips
  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 1 packet taco seasoning
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 1 can (15 oz) refried beans, warmed
  • 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese
  • 1/2 cup sliced jalapeños (from a jar)
  • 1/4 cup chopped red onion
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
  • Optional toppings: salsa, sour cream, guacamole

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Brown the ground beef in a skillet over medium heat. Drain any excess fat.
  3. Stir in the taco seasoning and water. Simmer for 5 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened.
  4. Spread the tortilla chips in a single layer on a large baking sheet.
  5. Spread the warmed refried beans evenly over the chips.
  6. Spoon the seasoned ground beef mixture over the beans.
  7. Sprinkle both shredded cheeses evenly over the beef.
  8. Scatter the sliced jalapeños and chopped red onion over the cheese.
  9. Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  10. Remove from oven and sprinkle with fresh cilantro.
  11. Serve immediately with optional toppings like salsa, sour cream, and guacamole.

Notes

  • For crispier nachos, layer your ingredients carefully. Start with a layer of chips, then beans, then meat, then cheese. This helps prevent sogginess.
  • If you prefer pulled pork, season and cook it similarly to the ground beef.
  • Consider adding a layer of black beans or corn for extra texture and flavor.
