Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb ground beef (85% lean)
  • 1 small onion, finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tbsp chili powder
  • 1 tsp ground cumin
  • 1/2 tsp smoked paprika (optional)
  • 1/2 tsp salt, or to taste
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 1 large bag (10–12 oz) sturdy tortilla chips
  • 1 1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese
  • 1 cup nacho cheese sauce
  • 1 medium tomato, diced
  • 1/4 cup sliced jalapeños (fresh or pickled)
  • 1/4 cup chopped green onions
  • 1/4 cup sour cream
  • 1/4 cup chopped cilantro
  • 1/2 cup guacamole or diced avocado (optional)
  • Black olives, sliced (optional)
  • Refried beans (optional)
  • Hot sauce (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add ground beef and cook, breaking up with a spatula, until no longer pink (4-5 minutes).
  3. Add chopped onion and cook for another 2 minutes until translucent.
  4. Stir in garlic, chili powder, cumin, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
  5. Pour in water and simmer for 2-3 minutes until beef is juicy and flavors meld. Adjust seasoning as needed.
  6. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment or foil. Spread half the tortilla chips in an even layer.
  7. Sprinkle half the cheddar and Monterey Jack cheese over chips. Spoon half the beef mixture over cheese.
  8. Repeat layering with remaining chips, cheese, and beef. Drizzle half the nacho cheese sauce over the top.
  9. Bake in preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, until cheese is melted and bubbly. For extra crispy edges, broil for 1-2 minutes at the end.
  10. Remove nachos from oven. Top with diced tomatoes, jalapeños, green onions, and cilantro.
  11. Add dollops of sour cream and guacamole. Scatter black olives or refried beans if using. Drizzle remaining cheese sauce if desired.
  12. Serve immediately while hot and gooey. Offer extra toppings on the side for customization.

Notes

Layer chips, cheese, and beef in two rounds for even melting. Use thick chips to avoid sogginess. Prep toppings before baking for quick assembly. For vegetarian, swap beef for beans or lentils. Store leftovers with wet toppings separate for best texture.
