Epic Beef Nachos Supreme
Make these incredible beef nachos the night before your next big game. The flavor combination of seasoned ground beef, cheese, refried beans, tomatoes, and green onions is simply amazing.
Are you prepared for this weekend’s Super Bowl Sunday? In case not, you now do. My teenage years and our regular visits to Taco Bell served as the inspiration for these nachos. I ordered beef nachos supreme again.
That is elevated to a whole new level in this dish. Much improved flavor and quality, while maintaining the same well-known blend of flavors.
INGREDIENTS
- Mexican Spice (or use one packet or serving of store-bought taco spice)
- One pound of ground beef
- half a diced yellow onion
- two sacks sixteen ounces of tortilla chips apiece
- One can of refried beans
- 16 ounces of your favorite shredded cheese (I used Monterey Jack and Cheddar).
- three diced Roma tomatoes
- two to three sliced green onions
Guidelines
- Set oven temperature to 400 degrees.
- In the meantime, sauté the ground beef and chopped onions on medium-high heat for about 8 minutes, or until fully cooked, then drain.
- After adding the taco spice, put the steak back in the pan.
- After adding 3/4 cup of water, stir, raise the heat to a simmer, and cook for about 5 minutes, or until the liquid has mostly evaporated.
- As the beef cooks, spread a thick layer of chips onto two parchment paper-lined baking pans.
- Place half of the refried beans onto each pan. Even though they are thick, I merely cover the chips with spoonfuls of these. (The spoonfuls will expand as the oven heats up.)
- Evenly divide the ground beef between each chip pan.
- On top, scatter the crumbled cheese.
- Bake for fifteen minutes at 400 degrees.
- Take out of the oven and top with chopped green onions and tomatoes.
- Serve right away.
