I?ve made many, many plates of loaded nachos before settling on this version. Many variations are possible, and I have personally made them vegetarian, turkey, and beef. I load them with sour cream, salsa, sliced olives, jalapenos, and chopped green onion, but all these toppings are optional – use what you like.
Ingredients
Toppings (optional)
- 1/2 cup sour cream (optional)
- 1/2 cup salsa (optional)
- 1/4 cup black olives (optional)
- 1/4 cup sliced jalapenos (optional)
- 1/4 cup green onion
Taco Seasoning
- 5 teaspoons paprika
- 1 1/4 teaspoons garlic powder
- 1 1/4 teaspoons ground cumin
- 1 1/4 teaspoons onion powder
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 1 teaspoon oregano leaves
- 1 1/2 teaspoons salt
Nachos
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 cup onion
- 1 cup green bell pepper
- 1 10 ounce) can diced tomatoes with green chiles (such as
- 1 (15 ounce) can Mexican-style corn (optional)
- 1 can refried beans
- 1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese, or as needed
- 4 ounces tortilla chips, or as needed
Directions
Step 1
For taco seasoning, stir paprika, garlic powder, cumin, onion powder, chili powder, oregano, and salt together in a small bowl; set aside.
Step 2
Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat; cook and stir ground beef in the hot skillet until browned and crumbly, 5 to 7 minutes. Stir in onion and green pepper; cook and stir with?oil and juices from browned meat until much of the liquid has evaporated, about 2 minutes more.
Step 3
Stir 1/2 can diced tomatoes with chilies and Mexican-style corn into skillet. Season beef mixture to taste with prepared taco seasoning mix.
Step 4
Stir together the remaining 1/2 can diced tomatoes with chilies and refried beans in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave on High until heated through, stirring every 30 seconds, 1 to 3 minutes.
Step 5
To assemble nachos, lay half of tortilla chips in a single layer on a microwave-safe plate, then drop teaspoons of refried beans onto chips, followed by meat mixture and shredded cheese. Repeat with remaining chips, beans, meat, and cheese to make a second layer.
Step 6
Microwave on High until cheese is melted and nachos are warm, 2 to 3 minutes. Top with sour cream, salsa, olives, jalapenos, and green onion as desired.
