This dish layers crunchy tortilla chips with seasoned ground beef, gooey melted cheese, and vibrant toppings for a satisfying and flavorful treat. Here’s how to make this delicious Beef Nachos recipe:

Ingredients:

• 1 lb ground beef
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• 1 small onion, diced
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 packet (1 oz) taco seasoning mix
• 1/4 cup water
• 1 bag (about 10 oz) tortilla chips
• 2 cups shredded Mexican blend cheese (or cheddar cheese)
• Optional toppings: diced tomatoes, sliced jalapeños, sliced black olives, chopped green onions, sour cream, guacamole, salsa

Instructions:

1. Cook the Ground Beef:
   • Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add diced onion and minced garlic, sauté until softened and fragrant.
   • Add ground beef to the skillet, breaking it apart with a spoon. Cook until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes.
2. Season the Beef:

   • Arrange tortilla chips in a single layer on the baking sheet.
   • Spoon the seasoned ground beef evenly over the tortilla chips.
4. Add Cheese:
   • Sprinkle shredded cheese evenly over the beef-topped tortilla chips.
5. Bake the Nachos:
   • Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
6. Top and Serve:
   • Remove nachos from the oven and immediately top with optional toppings such as diced tomatoes, sliced jalapeños, sliced black olives, chopped green onions, sour cream, guacamole, and salsa.
   • Serve hot and enjoy your delicious Beef Nachos!
