Ultimate Loaded Nachos
Ingredients
  • aluminum foil
  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 3/4 cup water
  • 1 (1.25 ounce) package taco seasoning mix
  • 1 (18 ounce) package restaurant-style tortilla chips
  • 1 cup shredded sharp Cheddar cheese, or more to taste
  • 1 (15.5 ounce) can refried beans
  • 1 (10 ounce) can pitted black olives, drained and chopped
  • 1 cup salsa
  • 1 cup sour cream, or more to taste
  • 4 green onions, diced
  • 1 (4 ounce) can sliced jalapeno peppers, drained
Instructions
1
Preheat the oven's broiler to its highest setting, positioning it about 6 inches away from the heat source. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil to prevent sticking.
2
Collect all necessary ingredients for the recipe.
3
Cook and stir ground beef in a skillet over medium heat until it reaches a crumbly, fully cooked state and no longer exhibits pink coloration, taking approximately 5 to 10 minutes. Remove excess grease from the skillet.
4
Drain any remaining moisture and stir in water, along with taco seasoning mix. Allow the mixture to simmer until it has thickened to a desired consistency, typically 8 to 10 minutes.
5
Arrange tortilla chips on the prepared baking sheet in an even layer. Top with shredded Cheddar cheese, followed by a dollop of refried beans and the ground beef mixture.
6
Bake the nachos in the preheated oven under the broiler until the cheese is melted and bubbly, taking 3 to 5 minutes. Finish the dish by topping it with sliced olives, a side of salsa, dollops of sour cream, chopped green onions, and diced jalapeño peppers.
