Ingredients

• 4 to 6 large handfuls of your favorite tortilla chips
• 1 pound ground chuck or ground turkey
• 1/4 cup salsa
• 1 (6-ounce) brick Monterey Jack cheese, freshly grated
• 1/4 cup sour cream
• 1 can refried beans, heated until very hot
• 1 small tomato, seeded and diced
• 3 green onions, sliced
• Pinch of salt
• Pinch of pepper
• Optional toppings*

Preparation

Step 1

Pre-heat broiler on high.

Place the ground chuck or turkey in a preheated pan over medium heat, season with salt and pepper and cook through. Once completely cooked add a 1/4 cup of salsa and stir. Turn down the heat to low to keep warm.

While the ground chuck is cooking start to heat refried beans over medium-low heat until bubbly.

Place half of the chips on a foil lined baking sheet and cover with a third of the cheese. Place under the broiler for 3-4 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly. Next spread the hot beans over the chips and cheese and add the rest of the chips forming a single layer again. Top with the ground beef and then with the remaining cheese. Place under the broiler for 5 minutes or until cheese is melted. Lastly top with your favorite toppings and serve! Enjoy!

Note:

If you want your toppings baked in the nacho, add them on top of the second layer of cheese before placing them under the broiler!

*Optional: Other topping ideas include sliced black olives, white or red onions, jalapeno rings, guacamole, cilantro, fresh lime juice or your favorite hot sauce.
