🌶️ Ultimate Loaded Nachos Recipe

- Ground beef, shredded chicken, pulled beef, or beans for vegetarian
Cheese: cheddar, Monterey Jack, or a Mexican blend (freshly grated melts best)

🍽️ How to Make Loaded Nachos

1. Preheat your oven

Set to 375°F (190°C).

2. Prepare your protein

Season ground beef or chicken with:
Salt + pepper + chili powder + cumin + paprika + garlic powder
Cook and set aside.

3. Build the nacho layers

On a baking sheet or cast-iron skillet:

Spread a layer of tortilla chips
Add meat/beans
Sprinkle plenty of cheese
Add jalapeños, corn, olives, black beans (if using)
Repeat another layer so the top gets cheesy too

4. Bake

Bake 8–10 minutes until the cheese is completely melted and bubbly.

5. Add fresh toppings

Dollop sour cream
Spoon on salsa or pico
Add guacamole
Sprinkle cilantro & green onions

🌮 Tips for Perfect Nachos

✔ Use thicker chips so they don’t get soggy
✔ Layer instead of piling everything on top
✔ Add wet toppings only after baking
✔ Use freshly shredded cheese — melts smoother
✔ A cast-iron skillet keeps the nachos hot longer
