The Ultimate Texas Nachos Recipes

ULTIMATE NACHO RECIPE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
• Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add in ground beef. Use a spoon to break up the meat and cook 8 to 10 minutes until beef is fully cooked through. Drain excess grease. Add in taco seasoning, stir, and cook 60-90 seconds.
• Pour in water and add in refried beans. Stir to combine and cook until heated through. Keep warm.
• Spread chips out onto a baking sheet (or other desired oven-safe baking dish including a 9x13 pan, cast iron skillet, or even a pie plate).
• Sprinkle 2 cups of the cheese over the chips. Dot with the beef and bean mixture. Top with remaining 2 cups of cheese.
• Bake in the 350 degree oven for 5 to 7 minutes, until cheese is fully melted.
• Remove from heat and add additional toppings as desired. Serve warm.

THE ULTIMATE TEXAS NACHOS

Steps:

• Slice the corn tortillas in half and set aside.
• Add enough canola oil to a large pot to fill about 1.5 inches and heat to medium. Do not bring to a boil. The temp should measure 375 degrees F.
• Add the halved tortillas in small batches and fry them about a minute or so per side, until they are lightly browned and crispy. Drain on paper towels and dash them with salt.
• When they are cooled, spread a spoonful of refried beans over each tortilla, then top them with Monterrey Jack cheese.
• Bake them at 350 degrees F about 10 minutes, or until the cheese is nicely melted.
• Serve with pickled jalapeno peppers and diced tomato over the tops, with crema and hot sauce on the side.
• Extra hot sauce for me!
