Nachos are a staple in Texas and there are many different ways to make them, from simple cheese and tortillas to a stack of delicious everything but the kitchen sink, whatever you can think of variety. I have made them all but usually just in the layering method, so when I saw this Best Ever Nacho Recipe on Youtube, I knew I had to try it because it had a very interesting meat mixture that sounded absolutely delicious. I started by getting my ingredients together: 1 tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil, 1 large onion (chopped), 1 lb. ground beef, 2 garlic cloves (minced), 1 tbsp. taco seasoning, kosher salt, 1 (15-oz.) can refried beans, 1/4 c. water, 1 large bag tortilla chips, 2 c. shredded cheddar, 2 c. Shredded Monterey Jack, 1/2 c. pickled jalapenos and 1 (15-oz.) can black beans, drained. I combined my meat mixture ingredients in a skillet, starting with my onions and ground beef.
Then you add the garlic and taco seasoning.
Then You add a can of refried beans.
Then I started layering up these delicious nachos, your first layer should look something like this.
Then you just keep going adding your layers bake in the oven, then add your homemade garnish to the top.
As a Texan, I approve this recipe! Yummmmy! 🙂
