Learn how to make deluxe nachos just like you’d get at a Mexican restaurant! Including how to fry flour tortilla chips just like you get there as well that everyone loves! You can top these with any number of ingredients but I used what my favorite restaurant uses when I order these there. Make them your own! These are great as a meal by themselves or as an appetizer on game days. Everyone is sure to love them!
What you’ll need:
6 flour tortillas
1 lb ground beef or ground turkey
taco seasoning (see how I make my own here: http://youtu.be/bKbk4_O1q5c )
1/2 cup refried beans
1 cup shredded co-jack cheese
1/4 cup sliced black olives
1/4 cup sour cream
1/4 cup diced tomatoes
oil for frying
To make the chips, cut tortillas into 6 equal pieces. Heat oil in a deep pan on medium-high until 300*F. Fry a few tortilla chips at a time, keep them submerged as much as possible for 60-90 seconds or until lightly golden brown. Chips will darken as they cool. If the chips are still doughy or bready inside, the oil is too hot. Drain on a wire rack and continue frying chips in small batches until all have been fried.
To make the taco meat, brown beef or turkey in a skillet until done and drain. Add in taco seasoning and 1/2 cup water and cook over medium-high heat for 4-5 minutes or until water is absorbed into the meat.
To make the nachos, place the chips onto a platter and dollop refried beans over top. Then sprinkle cheese on top and finally about half a cup of taco meat. Microwave for 90 seconds or until cheese is melted. Then top with black olives, sour cream and tomatoes. You can also use onions, jalapenos, guacamole, salsa, nacho cheese sauce, etc. Whatever is your favorite nacho toppings! Serves 2-4 people. Enjoy!!
