Ingredients
Scale
Meat and Seasoning
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 ounce packet taco seasoning
- 2/3 cup water
Base and Cheese
- 26–32 restaurant-style tortilla chips
- 1/2 – 1/3 cup refried beans
- 1 1/2 cups nacho cheese or queso cheese dip (jarred or homemade)
Toppings
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 1/2 cup diced tomatoes
- 2 tablespoons green onions, chopped
Instructions
- Cook Ground Beef: In a skillet over medium heat, cook and crumble the ground beef until it is browned and cooked through, about 6-8 minutes. Drain any excess grease from the pan to keep it lean.
- Season Beef: Stir in the taco seasoning packet and 2/3 cup of water. Simmer the mixture for 5 minutes, or until the sauce thickens and coats the beef well. Keep it warm on low heat.
- Prepare Refried Beans: Warm the refried beans in a small saucepan or microwave until they are smooth and spreadable, approximately 2-3 minutes. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
- Arrange Chips and Beans: On a large plate or shallow bowl, lay out the tortilla chips evenly. Spoon small dollops of the warm refried beans over the chips to distribute flavor evenly.
- Add Ground Beef: Evenly spread the seasoned ground beef mixture over the tortilla chips and refried beans, ensuring every chip gets a bit of meat.
- Cheese Sauce: Drizzle the warmed nacho cheese or queso dip generously over the beef, beans, and chips to create the gooey signature layer.
- Add Toppings: Place dollops of sour cream atop the cheesy layers, then sprinkle diced tomatoes and chopped green onions evenly over all to add freshness and color.
Notes
- To make this recipe spicier, add jalapeño slices or hot sauce on top before serving.
- Use homemade nacho cheese sauce for better flavor if preferred, or opt for your favorite store-bought brand.
- For a vegetarian version, substitute ground beef with seasoned cooked lentils or plant-based meat crumbles.
- Serve immediately for the best texture; chips may become soggy if left too long under the toppings.
