Appetizers

  1. 1

    Sauté aromatics

    Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and sauté until translucent, about 3-4 minutes.

  2. 2

    Brown the beef

    Add the cooked ground beef to the skillet and cook, breaking it up, until heated through and browning. Drain any excess fat.

  3. 3

    Season the beef

    Stir in garlic powder, cumin, chili powder, paprika, oregano, salt, and pepper. Cook for 1 minute until fragrant.

  4. 4

    Add liquids

    Pour in water and salsa; simmer for 5-7 minutes until the sauce slightly thickens and beef is flavorful.

  5. 5

    Taste and adjust

    Taste the beef mixture and adjust seasonings with a pinch more salt or pepper if needed.

  6. 6

    Assemble for serving

    Spoon about 2-3 tablespoons of the beef mixture onto each tortilla chip. Top with shredded cheddar cheese.

  7. 7

    Serve

    If finishing in the oven, bake for 5-7 minutes at 375°F (190°C) until the cheese is melted and bubbly. Serve immediately with optional toppings.
