Instructions:
1. Prepare the Beef:
- In a skillet over medium heat, cook the finely chopped onion until translucent.
- Add the ground beef to the skillet and cook until browned and cooked through, breaking it up into crumbles as it cooks.
- Drain any excess grease from the beef, then add the taco seasoning mix and water. Stir well to combine and simmer for a few minutes until the mixture is thickened and flavorful. Remove from heat and set aside.
2. Preheat the Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet or oven-safe dish with parchment paper or aluminum foil for easy cleanup.
3. Layer the Nachos:
- Spread a layer of tortilla chips evenly on the prepared baking sheet or dish.
- Spoon the cooked beef mixture over the chips, distributing it evenly to cover the chips.
4. Add Cheese and Toppings:
- Sprinkle a generous amount of shredded cheese over the beef and chips, ensuring good coverage for melty goodness.
- Scatter sliced jalapeños, diced tomatoes, sliced black olives, and any other desired toppings over the cheese layer.
5. Bake to Melty Perfection:
- Place the nachos in the preheated oven and bake for about 10-15 minutes or until the cheese is melted and bubbly, and the nachos are heated through.
6. Garnish and Serve:
- Remove the nachos from the oven and sprinkle chopped fresh cilantro over the top for a burst of freshness.
- Serve the Epic Beef Nachos Supreme hot, with optional sides of sour cream and guacamole for dipping or topping.
Tips for Epic Beef Nachos Supreme:
Customize Toppings: Feel free to customize the toppings based on your preferences. Add diced onions, chopped bell peppers, or even cooked beans for extra flavor and texture.
Layering Technique: Layering the nachos ensures even distribution of toppings and cheese for every bite.
Keep Chips Crispy: Avoid overloading the chips with toppings to prevent them from becoming soggy during baking.
Serve Immediately: Nachos are best enjoyed fresh out of the oven when the cheese is gooey and the toppings are warm.
