Ingredients

Scale
  • 10 oz thick-cut tortilla chips
  • 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1 lb ground beef (80/20)
  • 1 small onion, diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tbsp taco seasoning (homemade or store-bought)
  • 1 tbsp tomato paste
  • 1/2 cup water
  • Salt & pepper, to taste
  • 1/2 cup sour cream (or Greek yogurt)
  • 1/2 cup guacamole
  • 1/2 cup creamy cheese sauce (optional)
  • 1 large tomato or 2 Roma tomatoes, diced
  • 2 green onions, sliced
  • 1 jalapeño, sliced (optional)
  • Handful fresh cilantro, chopped (optional)
  • 1/4 cup sliced black olives (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a large rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
  2. Heat skillet over medium-high. Add ground beef and cook, breaking up with spatula, until browned (5-6 minutes). Drain excess fat if desired.
  3. Add diced onion and garlic to beef; sauté 2-3 minutes until softened.
  4. Sprinkle taco seasoning over meat, stir in tomato paste, and pour in water. Simmer 3-4 minutes until thickened. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  5. Spread tortilla chips in a single layer on baking sheet. Top evenly with half the cheddar and mozzarella.
  6. Spoon taco meat over chips, then sprinkle with remaining cheese.
  7. Bake 8-10 minutes, until cheese is melted and bubbly and chips are golden and crisp.
  8. While nachos bake, chop tomatoes, slice green onions, jalapeños, and olives. Prepare guacamole if making fresh.
  9. Warm cheese sauce in a small saucepan over low heat, stirring until smooth (if using).
  10. Remove nachos from oven. Dollop with sour cream, guacamole, and cheese sauce. Scatter tomatoes, onions, jalapeños, cilantro, and olives on top.
  11. Serve immediately while hot and crispy. Set out extra toppings in bowls for customization.

Notes

Use thick, sturdy chips for best crunch. Layer cheese both under and over the meat to keep chips crispy. Add creamy toppings after baking. Customize with your favorite proteins or toppings. For vegetarian, use black beans or meatless crumbles. For dairy-free, use plant-based cheese and sour cream. Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 2 days; reheat in oven for best texture.
