Drain Excess Fat:
Once the beef is cooked, drain any excess fat from the skillet. This helps to keep the nachos from becoming too greasy.
Season the Beef:
Return the drained beef to the skillet. Sprinkle the taco seasoning over the meat. If using store-bought taco seasoning, one packet should suffice.
Add 3/4 cup of water to the skillet. Stir to combine, then bring the mixture to a simmer.
Reduce the heat to low and let it simmer until most of the liquid has evaporated, about 5 minutes. This allows the beef to soak up all the flavorful seasoning.
Step 2: Assemble the Nachos
Prepare the Baking Sheets:
Line two large baking sheets with parchment paper. This makes for easier cleanup and prevents the chips from sticking to the pan.
Layer the Chips:
Spread a generous layer of sturdy tortilla chips across each baking sheet. Ensure the chips are spread out evenly to provide a solid base for the toppings.
Add the Refried Beans:
Open the can of refried beans. Using a spoon, dollop spoonfuls of beans over the chips on both baking sheets. The beans will spread out more as they heat in the oven.
Add the Ground Beef:
Spoon half of the seasoned ground beef mixture over the chips and beans on each baking sheet. Distribute the beef evenly to ensure every chip gets some of the savory topping.
Sprinkle the Cheese:
Generously sprinkle the shredded cheese over the top of the chips, beans, and beef. Using a combination of cheddar and Monterey Jack cheese adds a delicious blend of sharpness and creaminess.
