Loaded Nachos piles layers of crispy chips, seasoned beef, vegetables and lots of cheese to give you a total comfort food.
Nachos are an all time favorite of mine. After I posted my recipe for Homemade Taco Seasoning, I new I needed to come up with a recipe for nachos and Loaded Nachos is where I ended up. And it definitely was the perfect place to end.
I double layer everything in this recipe, so be prepared for a lot of Loaded Nachos. This would be a great recipe to make for a party or BBQ. Serve the nachos with salsa, sour cream and wedges of lime. A squeeze of fresh lime juice really gives the nachos a nice punch. You could easily skip the meat and serve this as a vegetarian Loaded Nachos.
Enjoy!
Ingredients
- 1 bag tortilla chips
- 1 lb. ground chuck
- 2 tbsp. taco seasoning (try my homemade taco seasoning)
- 1 tbsp. olive oil
- 1 medium onion, chopped
- 1 bell pepper, chopped
- 1 can black beans, rinsed and drained
- 2 cups shredded Monterey Jack Cheese
- 2 cups shredded Pepper Jack Cheese
- Fresh lime wedges
- Salsa
- Sour Cream
- Green Onions, diced
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees.
- Heat a sauce pan on medium high heat. Add the ground chuck and cook until cook through, about 8 minutes. Drain the excess fat from the pan and stir in the taco seasoning. Set the ground chuck aside on a plate.
- In the same pan, add the olive oil, onion and peppers. Saute for approx. 5 minutes, until the onions and peppers start to soften.
- On a large baking sheet spread 1/2 of the bag of tortilla chips. Pile on half of the ground chuck, onions, peppers, black beans and cheese.
- Pile the rest of the tortilla chips on top of the first layer. Then pile on the rest of the onions, peppers, black beans and cheese.
- Bake in the oven until the cheese is melted, about 10-12 minutes.
- limes, salsa, sour cream and green onions.
Brown the ground chuck and stir in the taco seasoning.
