1
Prepare the Ground Beef
In a skillet over medium heat, add olive oil. Once hot, add the ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it apart with a spatula. Drain excess fat.
2
Season the Beef
Add the taco seasoning to the browned beef, stirring to combine. Follow package instructions, usually adding a little water and simmering for a few minutes until thickened.
3
Prepare the Tortilla Chips
If using store-bought tortilla chips, skip this step. For fresh chips, heat oil in a deep fryer or large pot. Fry tortilla pieces until golden brown and crispy. Drain on paper towels.
4
Assemble the Nachos
On a large serving platter, layer the tortilla chips. Top with the seasoned ground beef, and then sprinkle the shredded Jack cheese evenly over the top.
5
Melt the Cheese
Place the platter under a broiler for 2-3 minutes or until the cheese is melted and bubbly. Keep a close eye to prevent burning.
6
Add Toppings
Remove from the oven and top with pico de gallo. Serve immediately while hot.
