Epic Beef Nachos Supreme Recipe
Ingredients
Taco Seasoning (or you can use one packet/ serving of store-bought taco seasoning)
1 pound ground beef
1/2 yellow onion diced
2 bags tortilla chips (16 ounces each)
1 can refried beans
16 ounces shredded cheese of choice (I used cheddar and Monterey jack)
3 roma tomatoes diced
2 to 3 green onions sliced
Instructions
- Preheat the oven at 400 degrees.
- Meanwhile on the stovetop, brown the ground beef and diced onions over medium-high heat until fully cooked (about 8 minutes) and drain.
- Return the beef to the pan, and sprinkle on the taco seasoning.
- Stir in 3/4 cup water, bring it to a simmer, reduce heat and simmer until the liquid mostly evaporates, about 5 minutes.
- While the beef is cooking, add a generous layer of chips to two baking sheets lined with parchment paper.
- Spoon on refried beans, half on each pan. These are thick, but I just add spoon fulls all over the chips. (The spoon fulls will spread with the heat of the oven.)
- Spoon on half the ground beef to each pan of chips.
- Sprinkle shredded cheese on top.
- Bake at 400 degrees for 15 minutes.
- Remove from the oven, and sprinkle on diced tomatoes and green onions.
- Serve immediately.
Recipe Notes
Make sure your tortilla chips are thick and sturdy. NO thin ones. I recommend Costco’s Kirkland organic tortilla chips, or a similar brand.
I wrote this recipe with entertaining in mind. If you are making this for a smaller crown (4 to 6), I think half the recipe would work just fine. Just change the number of servings on the recipe card to adjust all measurements.
