Tortilla Chips

Spicy Beef Sauce

Toppings

Method

Preparation of Spicy Beef Sauce

  1. 1

    Cook the Beef

    In a large skillet over medium heat, add the ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it apart with a wooden spoon.

  2. 2

    Sauté Onion and Garlic

    Add the chopped onion and minced garlic to the skillet with the beef. Sauté until the onion is translucent and fragrant, about 5 minutes.

  3. 3

    Add Jalapeños

    Chop the jalapeños (seeds removed for less heat, if desired) and add them to the skillet, stirring them into the beef mixture.

  4. 4

    Mix in Tomato Sauce and Spices

    Pour the tomato sauce into the skillet and add chili powder, cumin, salt, and black pepper. Stir well to combine and let simmer for 10 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.

Assembly of Nachos

  1. 5

    Prepare the Tortilla Chips

    Spread the tortilla chips evenly on a large baking sheet.

  2. 6

    Top with Beef Sauce

    Spoon the spicy beef sauce evenly over the tortilla chips, ensuring each chip gets a generous amount.

  3. 7

    Add Cheese

    Sprinkle the shredded cheese over the top of the beef-covered chips.

  4. 8

    Bake

    Place the baking sheet in a preheated oven at 180°C (350°F) for about 10-15 minutes or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

  5. 9

    Garnish and Serve

    Remove the nachos from the oven. Garnish with fresh cilantro, dollops of sour cream, and guacamole as desired. Serve warm.
