Preparation

    Prepare the Meat

    If using ground beef, cook it in a skillet over medium heat until browned. Drain excess fat. For shredded chicken and beef, pre-cook and shred them if not already done.

    Preheat the Oven

    Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to prepare for baking the nachos.

Assembly

    Layer the Ingredients

    On a large baking sheet, spread out the corn chips evenly. Spoon the refried beans over the chips, followed by an even layer of your choice of meat (shredded chicken, shredded beef, or ground beef).

  2. 4

    Add Cheese

    Sprinkle the shredded cheddar and mozzarella cheese evenly over the entire layer of chips and meat.

Baking

  1. 5

    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

    Once baked, remove the nachos from the oven and top with sour cream, guacamole, sliced jalapeños, chopped green onions, and fresh cilantro as desired.
