To begin with, let’s talk about the ingredients you will need. For a perfect batch of loaded nachos, gather the following items:
- 1 bag of tortilla chips
- 1 pound of ground beef
- 1 packet of taco seasoning
- 2 cups of shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 cup of black beans (drained and rinsed)
- 1 cup of jalapeños (fresh or pickled, sliced)
- 1 cup of guacamole
- 1 cup of sour cream
- Chopped green onions for garnish
- Fresh cilantro for garnish (optional)
Now that you have your ingredients ready, let’s move to the preparation. Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). This step ensures that your nachos are baked evenly, resulting in melted cheese and perfectly crispy chips.
Next, I like to cook the ground beef in a skillet over medium heat. Add the taco seasoning according to the package instructions, which typically involves adding a bit of water and letting it simmer. After a few minutes, you’ll have flavorful, seasoned meat ready to layer on your nachos.
Once the beef is cooked, it’s time to assemble your loaded nachos. On a large baking sheet, spread a layer of tortilla chips. I usually go for a generous portion to act as the foundation for all the toppings. Then, I sprinkle half of the cooked ground beef over the chips, followed by half of the black beans. Add a liberal amount of shredded cheese over the top. Don’t hold back, as melted cheese is what makes nachos irresistible!
Next, I repeat this layering process. Add another layer of tortilla chips, followed by the remaining ground beef, black beans, and cheese. Top everything off with jalapeños for a spicy kick. Now it’s time to slide your nachos into the preheated oven. Bake them for about 10-15 minutes or until the cheese is beautifully melted and bubbly.
After removing the nachos from the oven, I love to finish them off with dollops of guacamole and sour cream, making the dish extra delicious. Toss in chopped green onions and fresh cilantro for a burst of flavor and color.
Your Loaded Nachos Supreme are now ready to be served! With their cheesy goodness and meaty flavor, they are perfect for game nights, parties, or just a casual evening snack at home. Whether you enjoy them on your own or share them with friends and family, these nachos are sure to be a hit! So dig in and enjoy the creamy, crunchy, and savory layers that make up this beloved dish.
