Ingredients

  • 8 oz Tortilla chips
  • 1 lb Ground beef
  • ½ medium Onion, diced
  • 2 tsp Chili powder
  • 1 tsp Cumin
  • ½ tsp Salt
  • ¼ tsp Black pepper
  • ¼ cup Water
  • 2 cups Shredded cheddar cheese
  • ½ cup Jalapeños, sliced
  • ½ cup Sour cream
  • ½ cup Guacamole
  • 3 tbsp Fresh cilantro, chopped
  • 1 whole Lime

Instructions

  1. 1

    Heat a 12-inch skillet over medium-high heat. Add ground beef and diced onion, breaking up the meat as it cooks until browned, about 5–6 minutes.

    Drain excess fat from the skillet. Stir in chili powder, cumin, salt, and pepper. Add water and simmer for 2 minutes until slightly thickened.

  3. 3

    Spread tortilla chips on a large serving platter or cast iron skillet.

  4. 4

    Spoon seasoned beef evenly over the chips. Scatter shredded cheddar cheese and jalapeño slices on top.

  5. 5

    Place under a preheated broiler for 2–3 minutes until cheese is melted and bubbly. Watch carefully to prevent burning.

  6. 6

    Remove from broiler. Dollop sour cream and guacamole on top. Garnish with fresh cilantro and squeeze lime juice over the nachos. Serve immediately.
