Ingredients

• 1 lb ground beef
• 2 tbsp taco seasoning
• 0.25 cup water
• 6 cups tortilla chips
• 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
• 1 cup diced tomatoes
• 0.33 cup sliced black olives
• 0.25 cup diced red onion
• 0.25 cup sliced jalapeños (optional)
• 0.5 cup sour cream
• 0.5 cup guacamole
• 2 tbsp chopped fresh cilantro

Directions

Step 1

Heat a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef and cook, breaking it up with a spoon, until browned and fully cooked, about 5-7 minutes. Drain any excess fat from the skillet.

Step 2

Stir in the taco seasoning and water. Cook for another 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mixture is well combined and saucy.

Step 3

Preheat your oven’s broiler to high.

Step 4

Spread the tortilla chips evenly into the skillet over the beef mixture.

Step 5

Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the chips and beef.

Step 6

Place the skillet under the broiler for 2-3 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbling. Keep a close eye on it to avoid burning.

Step 7

Remove the skillet from the oven. Top with diced tomatoes, black olives, red onion, and jalapeños, if using.

Step 8

Dollop sour cream and guacamole over the toppings in small spoonfuls.

Step 9

Garnish with chopped fresh cilantro and serve immediately. Enjoy!
