Chef Emily presents Tex-Mex Nachos

The ultimate shareable

Tortilla chips loaded with seasoned beef, beans, and melted cheese, finished with all the toppings — Tex-Mex nachos.

Step by stepInstructions

  1. Heat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Brown the beef, then stir in the taco seasoning and water and simmer 5 minutes.
  3. On a sheet pan, layer chips, beef, dollops of beans, and cheese. Repeat to build 2-3 layers.
  4. Bake 8-10 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbling.
  5. Top with jalapeños, pico de gallo, sour cream, and cilantro. Serve immediately.

💡 Chef tips & storage

Layer the chips and toppings so every bite is loaded, and use real shredded cheese that melts well. Serve right out of the oven while the chips are still crisp.
