How to make nachos with ground beef

Step 2: Pour your queso into a saucepan. On the stovetop, heat it on low until it’s warmed through.

Step 3: Cook the refried beans in a separate pan over medium heat. Add some water to help loosen them up and continue cooking until the beans are bubbling.

Step 4: Add an even layer of tortilla chips to a baking sheet. Warm up the chips by placing them in the preheated oven for a few minutes.

Step 5: When they’re warm, assemble your loaded nachos with a layer of ground beef, refried beans, and queso cheese. Sprinkle the cold veggie toppings on top and enjoy!

Variations

Switch up the meat: You can make this recipe with another kind of meat if you’re not a fan of beef. Follow the same instructions but use ground chicken, turkey, or pork. Furthermore, you can use chorizo to give the nachos some heat or make them with leftover shredded chicken or rotisserie chicken to save time.
Make it vegetarian or vegan: Omit the beef entirely or replace it with a plant based ground beef or soy chorizo instead. For vegan friendly nachos, use vegan queso or dairy free shredded cheese.
Use more or different cheese: You don’t have to make homemade nachos with queso. A blend of shredded cheese, like cheddar, pepper jack, or Monterey jack will melt nicely and add great flavor to each chip.
Bake everything at once: If you prefer your nacho recipe with ground beef to be served extra hot, bake the tortilla chips with the layers of beef, beans, and queso (or shredded cheese) all at once. Once the cheese is bubbling or melted, take the nachos out of the oven and add your toppings.
