Tortilla Chips

Toppings

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Cook the Meat

    In a skillet over medium heat, add olive oil. Once hot, add the ground beef (or chicken) and cook until browned and fully cooked through, about 7-10 minutes. Season with salt and black pepper to taste. Remove from heat and set aside.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Jalapeños

    If using fresh jalapeños, slice them into rings. If using pickled jalapeños, simply set them aside for topping.

Assembly

  1. 3

    Layer the Chips

    Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Spread the tortilla chips evenly on a large baking sheet.

  2. 4

    Add Cheese and Toppings

    Sprinkle the shredded cheese evenly over the tortilla chips. Then, add the cooked meat and jalapeños on top of the cheese.

Baking

  1. 5

    Bake the Nachos

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

Serving

  1. 6

    Serve Hot

    Remove the nachos from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving. Enjoy your delicious nachos with your favorite toppings like sour cream, guacamole, or salsa!
