Ingredients
  

For the Meat:

For the Nachos:

  • 10- 12 ounce tortilla chips
  • 1½ cups shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 cup salsa
  • ¼ cup chopped jalapeños fresh or pickled
  • ½ cup sour cream or drizzle ranch dressing
  • ½ cup guacamole or mashed avocado
  • Fresh cilantro optional

Directions
 

Step 1 – Make the Cheesy Meat:

  • In a skillet, cook ground beef over medium heat until browned. Season with garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Drain any grease. Stir in cheddar cheese soup and let it warm through. Set aside.
  • Step 2 – Assemble the Nachos:
  • Spread a layer of tortilla chips on a large oven-safe plate or baking sheet. Spoon cheesy beef over the chips. Sprinkle with shredded cheddar and drizzle nacho cheese sauce if using.

Step 3 – Bake:

  • Place under the broiler for 2–3 minutes or until the cheese is fully melted and bubbly.

Step 4 – Add Toppings:

  • Remove from oven and top with diced tomatoes, green onions, jalapeños, guacamole, and sour cream. Add cilantro if you like a little freshness.
