This recipe is everything you love about nachos but taken to a whole new level. Loaded with seasoned beef, refried beans, melted cheese, and fresh toppings, it’s the ultimate snack for game days, parties, or whenever you’re craving something deliciously indulgent.

Ingredients:

1 pound ground beef
1/2 yellow onion, diced
1 packet of taco seasoning (or homemade seasoning)
2 bags tortilla chips (16 ounces each)
1 can refried beans
16 ounces shredded cheese of choice (cheddar and Monterey jack are perfect)
3 roma tomatoes, diced
2-3 green onions, sliced

Instructions:

Preheat the Oven:
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

Cook the Beef:
In a large skillet over medium-high heat, brown the ground beef and diced onions together. Cook until the beef is no longer pink and the onions are soft, about 8 minutes. Drain any excess fat.

Add Taco Seasoning:
Return the beef to the pan and sprinkle on the taco seasoning. Add 3/4 cup water and stir to combine. Bring the mixture to a simmer, reduce the heat, and cook for about 5 minutes, until most of the liquid evaporates.

Prepare the Chips:
On two large baking sheets lined with parchment paper, spread a generous layer of tortilla chips.

Add the Beans:
Spoon half of the refried beans onto each sheet of chips. Don’t worry if the beans are thick—they’ll spread out as they heat in the oven.

Layer the Beef:
Divide the seasoned beef evenly between the two pans, spooning it over the chips and beans.

Add the Cheese:
Sprinkle shredded cheese over the top of each pan. Be generous—this is nachos, after all!

Bake the Nachos:
Place the pans in the oven and bake for 15 minutes, or until the cheese is fully melted and bubbly.

Top and Serve:
Once out of the oven, sprinkle the nachos with diced tomatoes and sliced green onions for a fresh finish. Serve immediately while everything is still hot and gooey.

Optional Toppings:
Sliced jalapeños
Sour cream
Guacamole
Salsa
Black olives
Fresh cilantro
