Ingredients

• 8 cups Tortilla chips
• 2 cups Shredded cheddar cheese
• 1 cup Shredded Monterey Jack cheese
• 1 pound Ground beef
• 2 tablespoons Taco seasoning
• 1 cup Refried beans
• 1 cup Diced tomatoes
• 1 cup Sliced black olives
• 1 cup Pickled jalapeños
• 0.5 cup Chopped green onions
• 1 cup Guacamole
• 1 cup Sour cream
• 0.25 cup Fresh cilantro (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

In a large skillet, cook the ground beef over medium heat until browned and fully cooked, about 5-7 minutes. Drain any excess fat.

Step 3

Stir the taco seasoning into the cooked beef, following the package instructions for adding water (typically about 1/4 cup). Cook until the seasoning is fully incorporated. Remove the skillet from the heat.

Step 4

Spread a layer of tortilla chips evenly across a large baking sheet or oven-safe platter.

Step 5

Evenly dollop the refried beans across the chips. Then, sprinkle the cooked ground beef over the top.

Step 6

Combine the shredded cheddar and Monterey Jack cheeses in a bowl. Sprinkle the cheese mixture evenly over the chips, beef, and beans.

Step 7

Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for about 8-10 minutes, or until the cheese is fully melted and bubbly.

Step 8

Remove the nachos from the oven and immediately garnish with the diced tomatoes, sliced black olives, pickled jalapeños, chopped green onions, and fresh cilantro (if using).

Step 9

Serve the nachos hot with guacamole and sour cream on the side for dipping or topping.
