Taco Bell Xxl Copycat Beef Nachos Food

EPIC BEEF NACHOS SUPREME

Steps:

• Preheat the oven at 400 degrees.
• Meanwhile on the stovetop, brown the ground beef and diced onions over medium-high heat until fully cooked (about 8 minutes) and drain.
• Return the beef to the pan, and sprinkle on the taco seasoning.
• Stir in 3/4 cup water, bring it to a simmer, reduce heat and simmer until the liquid mostly evaporates, about 5 minutes.
• While the beef is cooking, add a generous layer of chips to two baking sheets lined with parchment paper.
• Spoon on refried beans, half on each pan. These are thick, but I just add spoon fulls all over the chips. (The spoon fulls will spread with the heat of the oven.)
• Spoon on half the ground beef to each pan of chips.
• Sprinkle shredded cheese on top.
• Bake at 400 degrees for 15 minutes.
• Remove from the oven, and sprinkle on diced tomatoes and green onions.
• Serve immediately.

MINI TACO NACHOS

Steps:

• Brown ground beef in a large skillet until browned and cooked through. Drain grease if necessary. Add onions and peppers and saute with meat until soft, about 3-5 minutes.
• Sprinkle seasonings (chili powder, cumin, coriander, oregano, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne and salt) on meat mixture. Add beer and stir until mixture is combined and slightly reduced.
• ***At this point, you could store meat mixture in the fridge until ready to use or allow mixture to cool slightly before starting nacho assembly. ***You could also skip those first 2 steps if you have leftover taco meat!
• Line baking sheets with aluminum foil that's been sprayed with nonstick cooking spray.
• Spread out tortilla chips on baking sheet in rows. (I can usually get about 7 rows of 5 on each baking sheet).
• Fill each tortilla chip with 1-2 teaspoons of meat mixture. Then top each chip with 1-2 teaspoons of shredded cheese. Finally, sprinkle green onions on top of cheese.
• Bake at 375 degrees for 5-7 minutes.
• Serve with salsa, guacamole, sour cream and/or hot sauce!
