How to Make Doritos Nachos with Ground Beef

Ingredients

  • Doritos: 1 large bag (about 9.75 to 11 oz), choose your favorite flavor
  • Ground beef: 1 lb (450g)
  • Taco seasoning: 1 packet (or 2-3 tablespoons homemade)
  • Water: 1/2 cup (for the taco seasoning)
  • Cheddar cheese: 2 cups, shredded
  • Monterey Jack cheese: 1 cup, shredded (or use a blend of your favorite cheeses)
  • Jalapeños: 1-2, sliced (adjust to taste)
  • Black olives: 1/2 cup, sliced
  • Tomatoes: 1 medium, diced
  • Green onions: 2-3, sliced
  • Sour cream: for serving
  • Guacamole: for serving
  • Salsa: for serving

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven:
    • Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Get a large baking sheet or oven-proof dish ready.
  2. Cook the Ground Beef:
    • In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until it’s no longer pink, breaking it up with a spoon as it cooks. Drain any excess fat.
    • Stir in the taco seasoning and water. Bring to a simmer, then reduce the heat and let it cook until the mixture has thickened, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat.
  3. Prepare the Nachos:
    • Spread a layer of Doritos on the baking sheet or dish, creating a base for your nachos. You might not use the entire bag, depending on the size of your dish.
    • Spoon the seasoned ground beef evenly over the Doritos.
    • Sprinkle both the cheddar and Monterey Jack cheeses over the top of the beef.
    • Add the sliced jalapeños and black olives (and any other toppings you’d like to heat up).
  4. Bake the Nachos:
    • Bake in the preheated oven for about 5-10 minutes, or until the cheese is fully melted and bubbly.
  5. Add Fresh Toppings:
    • Once out of the oven, top the nachos with the diced tomatoes, sliced green onions, and any other fresh toppings you prefer.
  6. Serve:
    • Serve the Doritos nachos immediately while hot, with sides of sour cream, guacamole, and salsa for guests to add to their liking.
