Ingredients
  

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • 13 ounces tortilla chips (1 bag)
  • 1 large green bell pepper diced
  • 1 small red onion finely diced
  • ½ cup black olives sliced
  • 1 cup Monterey Jack cheese shredded
  • 1 cup cheddar cheese shredded
  • Fresh cilantro for garnish
  • Salsa for serving
  • Sour cream for serving
  • Guacamole for serving

Equipment

  • Large Baking Sheet
  • Skillet
  • Spatula
  • Measuring spoons
  • Cutting Board and Knife

Method
 

  1. In a large skillet over medium heat, add the olive oil. Once hot, add the minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
  2. Next, add the ground beef to the skillet. Cook it, breaking it apart with your spatula, until it’s browned and cooked through, approximately 5-7 minutes.
  3. Once the beef is cooked, sprinkle in the chili powder, paprika, cumin, dried oregano, and cayenne pepper. Stir well to evenly coat the beef with the spices, allowing the mixture to cook for an additional 2 minutes.
  4. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). On a large baking sheet, spread out the tortilla chips in an even layer.
  5. Then, scoop the seasoned beef mixture generously over the chips, ensuring each chip gets a taste of that flavorful beef.
  6. Sprinkle the diced green bell pepper, red onion, black olives, and jalapeño slices over the beef. Follow this with a generous layer of shredded Monterey Jack and cheddar cheese.
  7. Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for about 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  8. Once out of the oven, remove the nachos from the baking sheet and transfer them to a serving platter or leave them on the sheet for a family-style presentation.
  9. Top with diced Roma tomato and fresh cilantro. Serve with salsa, sour cream, and guacamole on the side for dipping.

Notes

  • Keep an eye on your nachos during baking to prevent burnt chips.
  • Distribute cheese evenly for a consistent melt.
  • To avoid soggy chips, add fresh toppings after baking.
