Loaded Nachos

Nachos were invented in 1943 in Piedras Negras, Mexico, by Ignacio ‘Nacho’ Anaya, who topped tortilla chips with cheese and jalapeños for a group of hungry American visitors. The dish crossed the border and evolved into the fully loaded, multi-topping version popular at American sports bars and stadiums today.

Piled high with cheese, meat, and all the toppings

Crispy tortilla chips are layered with seasoned ground beef, melted cheese, and classic nacho toppings for the ultimate shareable platter.

Step by stepInstructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 190°C.
  2. Brown the ground beef in a skillet and stir in the taco seasoning with a splash of water.
  3. Spread the tortilla chips on a baking sheet.
  4. Layer with the beef, black beans, and cheese.
  5. Bake 10-12 minutes until the cheese melts.
  6. Top with tomatoes, jalapeños, sour cream, guacamole, and green onions before serving.

💡 Chef tips & storage

Layer the chips and toppings in two rounds so every chip gets cheese, not just the top layer. Serve immediately, since nachos lose their crunch quickly.
