easy nachos recipe

Easy loaded beef nachos with guacamole, sour cream, and salsa for a quick and delicious snack or meal.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 large bag tortilla chips (a mix of regular + nacho cheese chips)
  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 1 (15 oz) can black beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1 tbsp taco seasoning (or to taste)
  • 1/4 cup water (for simmering seasoning)
  • 2 cups shredded Mexican-blend cheese (or cheddar)
  • 1/2 cup diced tomatoes
  • 1/3 cup diced red onion
  • 1/2 cup salsa
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 3/4 cup guacamole (or mashed avocado)

Instructions

  1. Cook the beef: In a skillet over medium heat, cook ground beef until browned. Drain excess grease. Stir in taco seasoning and water; simmer 2–3 minutes until saucy.
  2. Warm the beans: Stir black beans into the beef for 1–2 minutes just to heat through (or keep beans separate if you prefer).
  3. Build the nachos: Spread tortilla chips on a large oven-safe plate or sheet pan. Spoon the beef/bean mixture over the chips and sprinkle evenly with shredded cheese.
  4. Melt the cheese: Broil 1–3 minutes (watch closely) or bake at 400°F for 5–7 minutes, just until cheese is melted.
  5. Top & serve: Add diced tomatoes and red onion. Finish with big dollops of sour cream and guacamole, then spoon salsa over the top. Serve immediately while hot and crunchy.

Notes

  • Use fresh ingredients for best flavor.
  • Adjust toppings to your preference.
  • Serve immediately to maintain crispiness.
