Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions for Cheesy Beef Nachos
  1. In a large skillet over medium heat, add the pound of ground beef. Season it with taco seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Cook the beef for about 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it’s nicely browned and fully cooked. Make sure to crumble the meat as it cooks for even texture. Once done, drain any excess fat and remove the skillet from heat.
  2. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). While the oven is warming up, take a large baking sheet and spread out your tortilla chips in an even layer.
  3. Layer the cooked ground beef evenly over the tortilla chips. Then, sprinkle the shredded cheddar and Monterey Jack cheeses generously on top.
  4. Carefully place the loaded nachos in your preheated oven and bake for about 10 minutes until the cheese is fully melted and bubbling.
  5. After removing the nachos from the oven, top them with diced tomatoes, sliced black olives, jalapeños, and fresh cilantro if desired.
  6. Finish off your Cheesy Beef Nachos by drizzling them with sour cream and sprinkling sliced green onions on top.
