Ingredients
Scale
Seasoned Ground Beef
- ½ cup diced yellow onion
- ½ tsp salt
- ¼ tsp black pepper
- 2 tbsp taco seasoning
- ¼ cup water
- 1 lb (16 oz) ground beef (added based on typical ingredient for ground beef nachos)
Nacho Assembly
- 12 oz tortilla chips
- 8 oz Colby Jack cheese, shredded
Toppings
- Sour cream (for topping, amount to preference)
- Diced tomatoes (for topping, amount to preference)
- Fresh cilantro (for garnish, amount to preference)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to prepare for baking the nachos once assembled.
- Cook Ground Beef and Onion: In a skillet over medium heat, cook 1 lb of ground beef together with the ½ cup diced yellow onion until the meat is browned and the onions are softened. Drain any excess grease from the skillet.
- Season Beef Mixture: Add ½ tsp salt, ¼ tsp black pepper, 2 tbsp taco seasoning, and ¼ cup water to the beef mixture. Stir to combine and let it simmer for 5 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly and the flavors meld.
- Layer Ingredients in Bundt Pan: Grease a bundt pan thoroughly. Begin layering by placing a portion of tortilla chips on the bottom, followed by a layer of the seasoned beef mixture, and then a layer of shredded Colby Jack cheese. Repeat these layers until all ingredients are used, finishing with a top layer of cheese to ensure a bubbly, golden finish.
- Bake Nachos: Place the bundt pan in the preheated oven and bake for 15–20 minutes until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and golden brown on top.
- Rest and Flip: Once baked, allow the nachos to rest for 5 minutes to set. Then carefully invert the bundt pan onto a serving plate to reveal a ring-shaped stack of nachos.
- Add Toppings: Top the nachos with sour cream, diced tomatoes, and fresh cilantro as desired to add freshness and creaminess to the dish before serving.
Notes
- Use a well-greased bundt pan to prevent sticking and make flipping easier.
- Ground beef quantity is suggested as 1 lb based on standard nacho recipes and typical portion size since the original list omitted it.
- Feel free to customize toppings such as adding jalapeños, guacamole, or black olives.
- For a vegetarian version, substitute ground beef with cooked black beans or a plant-based meat alternative.
- Leftovers can be refrigerated and reheated in the oven for best texture.
