INGREDIENTS

1 pound ground beef ( I used ground turkey)

1 (1.25 ounce) package taco seasoning mix

3/4 cup water

1 (18) ounce package restaurant style tortilla chips

1 cup shredded sharp Cheddar cheese or more to taste

1 (15.5 ounce) can refried beans

1 cup salsa

1 cup sour cream or more to taste

1 (10 ounce) can pitted black olives, drained and chopped

4 green onions, diced

1 (4 ounce) can sliced jalapeno peppers, drained

DIRECTIONS

Step 1

Cook and stir ground beef in a skillet over medium heat until meat is crumbly and no longer pink, 5 to 10 minutes. Drain excess grease. Stir in taco seasoning mix and water. Simmer until beef mixture has thickened, 8 to 10 minutes.

Step 2

Set the oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the broiler on low, or the oven to 400 F. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil.

Step 3

Spread tortilla chips on the prepared baking sheet: top with Cheddar cheese and dot with refried beans, and ground beef mixture.

Step 4

Place under the broiler or in the preheated oven until cheese is melted, watch carefully to prevent burning, 3-5 minutes.

Step 5

Top nachos with salsa, sour cream, black olives, green onions, and jalapeno peppers.

Bon Appetit!!!!!
