Ingredients

*(Serves 8-10)*

Base

  • 2 bags (16oz each) tortilla chips (sturdy ones like Restaurant Style)

  • 1 can (16oz) refried beans

  • 16oz shredded cheese (cheddar + Monterey Jack blend)

Beef Layer

  • 1 lb (450g) ground beef *(80/20 for best flavor)*

  • ½ yellow onion, diced

  • 3 tbsp taco seasoning (or 1 packet)

  • ¾ cup water

Toppings

  • 3 Roma tomatoes, diced

  • 2-3 green onions, sliced

  • Optional extras:

    • Jalapeños

    • Sour cream

    • Guacamole

    • Black olives

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Cook the Beef

  • Brown beef + onions in a skillet over medium-high heat (~8 mins). Drain fat.

  • Return to pan, add taco seasoning + water. Simmer 5 mins until thickened.

2. Build the Nachos

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line 2 baking sheets with parchment.

  2. Spread chips in an even layer.

  3. Dollop refried beans over chips (they’ll spread when baked).

  4. Sprinkle beef mixture evenly.

  5. Top with cheese (don’t skimp!).

3. Bake & Finish

  • Bake 15 mins until cheese is bubbly.

  • Remove and top with tomatoes + green onions.

4. Serve Immediately!

  • Add extras like sour cream, guac, or jalapeños at the table.

Pro Tips

🔸 Layer strategically – Avoid “naked chips” by distributing toppings evenly.
🔸 Bake on parchment – Prevents sticking and makes cleanup easy.
🔸 Prep toppings ahead – Dice veggies while beef cooks.

Variations

🌱 Vegetarian: Swap beef for black beans + sautéed bell peppers.
🍗 Buffalo Chicken: Use shredded rotisserie chicken + buffalo sauce.
🥓 Loaded: Add crumbled bacon or chorizo.

Serving Ideas

  • Game day: Pair with beer and more snacks!

  • Movie night: Serve with margaritas.

  • Potluck: Transport on the baking sheets (covered in foil).

Storage

  • Reheat: 5 mins in oven at 350°F to revive crispiness.

  • Leftovers? (Unlikely!) Store chips + toppings separately.

Final Thought

These Beef Nacho Supremes are the undisputed MVP of party food—cheesy, crunchy, and guaranteed to wow.
