Oven-Baked Nachos
If you want some Tex-Mex grub that can be shared with the family or the gang while watching The Big Game, keep reading. Each chip is weighed down with ALL the fixins -- this isn't a snack, this is a meal!
Ingredients
- 1 bag tortilla chips 12 ounces
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 lb ground beef
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 1 package taco seasoning
- 1 can diced tomatoes
- 1 can kidney beans or black beans
- 1 cup corn kernels cooked
- 2 cups cheddar cheese shredded
- 1 tomato diced
- 1 small red onion diced
- 3 tbsp sour cream
- 2 tbsp fresh cilantro leaves
- salt and pepper
- limes
Instructions
- Heat the oven to 400°F
- In a pan over MEDIUM heat, saute half the onion and garlic with the ground beef until browned, about 3-5 minutes.
- Add the taco seasoning, beans, a pinch of salt, and pepper, and cook until the excess liquid has cooked off, about 10 minutes.
- Arrange the chips on a sheet pan and cover them with ground beef and cheese. Place in the oven to bake for 5 - 8 minutes or until the cheese has melted.
- Take out the oven and top with corn, diced tomato, red onion, sour cream, and cilantro. Serve with lime.
Notes
- You can use ground turkey or chicken if you are looking for a healthier option.
- If time is an issue, you can make the mince and chop the tomato and onion beforehand. Then just assemble it and melt the cheese when you’re ready to serve. The whole dish gets a bit soggy if it’s left to stand.
