Epic Beef Nachos Supreme

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Beef

Start by heating the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it apart with a spatula as it cooks. Once the beef is fully cooked, drain any excess fat, and return it to the skillet.

Next, add the taco seasoning along with a bit of water (as instructed on the seasoning packet, or follow your homemade seasoning recipe). Stir to combine, and let it simmer for about 5 minutes until the beef is well-coated with the seasoning and all the flavors meld together.

2. Prepare the Nacho Base

While the beef is cooking, preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Spread the tortilla chips evenly on a large baking sheet, making sure there’s no overlap for the best crunch.

3. Assemble the Nachos

Once the beef is ready, it’s time to build the nachos! Start by spooning the seasoned ground beef evenly over the tortilla chips. If you’re using black beans, sprinkle those over the beef as well. Then, generously sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese (and any other cheese you prefer) on top of the chips and beef.

4. Bake the Nachos

Place the assembled nachos in the preheated oven and bake for about 10-12 minutes, or until the cheese is fully melted and bubbly, and the chips are crisp.

5. Add the Toppings

Once your nachos are out of the oven, it’s time to load them up with fresh toppings! Sprinkle diced tomatoes, sliced green onions, and jalapeños over the nachos for a burst of freshness and heat. Add sour cream in dollops, and finish with sliced black olives and a sprinkle of fresh cilantro for a vibrant, flavorful touch.

If you love guacamole, now’s the time to add a generous scoop or some avocado slices to complete the nacho masterpiece.

6. Serve and Enjoy

Grab some plates, dig in, and enjoy your Epic Beef Nachos Supreme! These nachos are great for sharing, so be sure to serve them alongside extra sour cream, salsa, or guacamole on the side.

Tips for Perfecting Your Epic Beef Nachos:

• Use Sturdy Tortilla Chips: For the best texture, choose a thicker tortilla chip that won’t break under the weight of all the delicious toppings.
• Customize the Beef: Add a bit of heat by mixing in some chopped chili peppers or using spicy taco seasoning. If you prefer a milder flavor, you can skip the jalapeños or reduce the spice level.
• Layer, Layer, Layer: For the most evenly distributed cheese and toppings, consider layering your nachos. Start with a layer of chips, then add beef and cheese, and repeat. This ensures each bite has a little bit of everything.
• Don’t Overload with Toppings: While it’s tempting to add all your favorite toppings, make sure the nachos don’t get soggy. The key to great nachos is balancing crispy chips with just the right amount of toppings.
• Make It a Meal: Add extra protein by incorporating seasoned chicken, pulled pork, or even ground turkey for a hearty, filling dish that can easily be served as a main course.
