  • Total Time: 30 minutes
  • Yield: 4-6

Ingredients

  • tortilla chips
  • ground meat
  • taco seasoning
  • beans of choice
  • cheese
  • tomatoes
  • onion
  • avocado
  • chilis or peppers

Instructions

1. Cook your protein

If you’re using ground beef, turkey, or chicken, cook it in a skillet with taco seasoning until browned and fully cooked. If you’re using beans, warm them up with a little seasoning for extra flavor.

2. Chop your toppings

Dice the tomatoes, slice the onions, cut the avocado, and chop your peppers. Prepping everything in advance makes assembling a breeze.

3. Assemble the nachos

Start with a layer of tortilla chips or sweet potato slices in your skillet or foil pan. Sprinkle on a layer of taco meat, beans, cheese, and veggies. Repeat until the pan is full, finishing with a generous layer of cheese on top.

4. Cover and cook

Cover the pan tightly with aluminum foil and place it on a grill grate over the fire. Keep it away from direct flames to prevent burning. Let it cook for 15 to 30 minutes, checking every so often. When the cheese is fully melted and the toppings are tender, it’s done!

5. Serve and enjoy

Carefully remove the foil and dig in! Eat straight from the pan or scoop onto plates. Add guacamole, salsa, or sour cream for the ultimate finish.

Notes

Storing and reheating leftovers

If you have leftovers (unlikely, but possible!), store them in an airtight container in a cooler or fridge. To reheat, place them back in a cast-iron skillet over low heat, covering with foil to keep them from drying out. Avoid microwaving, as it makes the chips soggy.
