Ingredients
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1 packet taco seasoning (or homemade blend: chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, paprika, salt)
- 1 bag tortilla chips
- 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 cup shredded lettuce
- 1 cup diced tomatoes
- ½ cup sliced black olives
- ½ cup diced white onion
- ½ cup sliced green onions
- ½ cup sour cream
- Salsa (optional, for drizzling)
Instructions
Step 1: Cook the Beef
In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until browned and crumbly.
Step 2: Season the Meat
Drain excess fat, then add taco seasoning and a splash of water. Simmer until the beef is well coated and slightly saucy.
Step 3: Prepare the Chips
Spread tortilla chips evenly over a large platter or baking sheet.
Step 4: Add the Beef
Spoon the hot seasoned beef evenly over the chips.
Step 5: Add Cheese
Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese generously over the warm beef so it begins to melt.
Step 6: Add Fresh Toppings
Top with shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, black olives, white onion, and green onions.
Step 7: Finish & Serve
Add dollops of sour cream and drizzle with salsa if desired. Serve immediately while the chips are still crispy and the cheese is melted.
Serving Tips
- Serve right away for the best crunch and texture.
- Add jalapeños for extra heat.
- Use freshly grated cheese for better melting.
Enjoy your fully loaded nachos!
