Method

Prepare the Ground Beef

  1. 1

    Cook the Beef

    In a large skillet over medium heat, add the ground beef. Cook until browned, breaking it apart with a spatula, about 5-7 minutes.

  2. 2

    Add Seasoning

    Once the beef is browned, drain excess fat if necessary. Stir in the taco seasoning and water. Simmer for 5-10 minutes until the mixture thickens.

Make the Queso Blanco

  1. 3

    Melt the Cheese

    In a saucepan over medium-low heat, add the queso blanco cheese, milk, and cream cheese. Stir continuously until melted and smooth, about 5-7 minutes.

Prepare the Pico de Gallo

  1. 4

    Mix Ingredients

    In a bowl, combine the diced tomatoes, red onion, cilantro, lime juice, and salt. Toss gently to mix and set aside.

Assemble the Nachos

    Layer the Ingredients

    On a large serving platter, spread half of the corn tortilla chips as the base layer. Top with half of the seasoned ground beef and half of the queso blanco.
