Ingredients
Instructions
1. Make the Quick Salsa
In a small bowl, combine the minced jalapeño, sliced scallions, garlic, cilantro, salt, lime juice, and diced tomatoes.
Stir everything together and set aside. The lime juice enhances the flavors, making the salsa taste fresh and vibrant.
2. Cook the Spicy Beef
Heat the vegetable oil in a medium skillet over medium heat.
Add the finely chopped onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened (about 3 minutes).
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another minute, being careful not to let it brown.
Add the ground beef, chili powder, oregano, cumin, cayenne pepper, salt, and tomato paste.
Increase the heat to medium-high and cook, breaking up the meat with a wooden spoon, until no longer pink (about 4 to 5 minutes).
Remove from heat and set aside.
3. Assemble the Nachos
Preheat the oven to 400°F and position an oven rack in the middle.
Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
Spread half of the tortilla chips in an even layer on the baking sheet.
Sprinkle half of the cooked beef mixture over the chips.
Cover evenly with 2 cups of shredded cheese and half of the jalapeño slices.
Repeat with the remaining chips, beef mixture, cheese, and jalapeños to create layers.
4. Bake to Perfection
Place the assembled nachos in the oven and bake for 7 to 10 minutes, or until the cheese is fully melted and bubbly.
Keep a close eye to prevent burning. The goal is gooey, melted cheese without over-crisping the chips.
5. Serve Immediately
Remove from the oven and serve right on the baking sheet for easy grabbing.
Spoon the fresh salsa over the nachos or serve it on the side.
Add optional toppings like lime wedges, sour cream, and guacamole.
