Category : Game Day

Ingredients :

  • 1 bag restaurant-style tortilla chips
  • 1 pound lean ground beef
  • 1 packet taco seasoning
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 2 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese
  • 1 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese
  • 3 ripe Hass avocados
  • 1 lime, juiced
  • 1/4 cup finely chopped red onion
  • 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
  • 1 medium Roma tomato, diced
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1/4 cup sliced pickled jalapeños

Method :

  1. Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and brown the ground beef until fully cooked, draining any excess grease.
  3. Add the taco seasoning and water to the beef, simmer for 5 minutes until the sauce thickens, then remove from heat.
  4. Spread half of the tortilla chips in an even layer across the prepared baking sheet.
  5. Sprinkle half of the cooked ground beef and half of both shredded cheeses evenly over the first layer of chips.
  6. Add the remaining chips, followed by the rest of the ground beef and the remaining cheeses to create a high, game-day-style stack.
  7. Bake in the preheated oven for 8 to 10 minutes until the cheese is completely melted and bubbling.
  8. While baking, mash the avocados in a bowl with lime juice, red onion, cilantro, and tomato to make a fresh guacamole.
  9. Remove the nachos from the oven and top immediately with dollops of fresh guacamole, sour cream, and pickled jalapeños before serving hot.

Recipe Notes :

  • Chef’s Tip: Shred your own cheese from a block for the best melted consistency, as pre-shredded cheese contains anti-caking agents that prevent smooth melting.
  • Variation: Swap the ground beef for shredded rotisserie chicken tossed in taco seasoning for a quick chicken nacho alternative.
  • Storage: Store leftovers without the guacamole and sour cream in an airtight container, then reheat in the oven at 350 degrees Fahrenheit to crisp up the chips.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I prevent the nachos from getting soggy on game night?

Layer the shredded cheese directly onto the warm chips first to create a protective barrier before adding wet toppings like seasoned beef.

Can I prepare the beef and guacamole ahead of time?

You can cook the seasoned ground beef a day in advance, but prepare the fresh guacamole close to serving time to prevent it from turning brown.

What is the best cheese blend for melting on nachos?

A combination of freshly shredded sharp cheddar and Monterey Jack provides the best balance of rich flavor and smooth, stretchy melt.
