Prep & Cook Time
- Prep Time: 15 minutes
- Cook Time: 10 minutes
- Total Time: 25 minutes
- Servings: 6
- Yield: 1 large tray of fully loaded nachos
Ingredients
- 1 (12-ounce) bag thick-cut tortilla chips
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 (1-ounce) packet taco seasoning (or homemade seasoning)
- 2 cups shredded Mexican-blend cheese (cheddar, Monterey Jack, or Colby-Jack)
- 1 cup refried beans or drained black beans
- 1/2 cup sliced black olives (optional)
- 1/2 cup sliced pickled jalapeños (optional)
Fresh Toppings (add after baking):
- 1 cup diced tomatoes or pico de gallo
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 1/2 cup guacamole or diced avocado
- 2 tablespoons chopped green onions or cilantro
Directions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or foil for easy cleanup.
- Cook the beef in a skillet over medium heat until browned and crumbly, 6 to 8 minutes. Drain excess grease. Stir in taco seasoning and prepare according to packet directions.
- Assemble the nachos: Spread tortilla chips in an even layer on the prepared baking sheet. Spoon beef evenly over the chips, followed by beans, olives, and jalapeños.
- Add cheese evenly over the entire tray, making sure some cheese reaches the edges for crispy bites.
- Bake in the preheated oven until cheese is fully melted and bubbly, 8 to 10 minutes.
- Finish with fresh toppings immediately after baking. Add tomatoes, sour cream, guacamole, and green onions.
- Serve hot straight from the pan for best texture and flavor.
Tips & Best Practices:
- Use thick-cut chips to prevent sogginess.
- Layer ingredients evenly to ensure every chip is loaded.
- For extra-crispy nachos, warm the chips alone in the oven for 3 minutes before adding toppings.
- Serve sauces on the side if the nachos will sit out for a while at a party.
