Nachos Base

Protein

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Cook the Protein

    If using ground beef, cook it in a skillet over medium heat until browned, about 7-10 minutes. Drain excess fat. If using shredded chicken, ensure it is pre-cooked and shredded.

Assembling the Nachos

  1. 2

    Layer the Nachos

    Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Spread the tortilla chips evenly on a large baking sheet. Spoon refried beans over the chips, followed by the cooked chicken or ground beef.

  2. 3

    Add Cheese and Toppings

    Sprinkle shredded cheddar and Monterey Jack cheese generously over the top. Add jalapeños for extra spice.

Baking

  1. 4

    Bake the Nachos

    Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Serving

  1. 5

    Garnish and Serve

    Remove from the oven and top with sour cream, sliced green onions, and salsa. Serve immediately.
