Description

Delicious loaded nachos topped with ground beef, cheese, and fresh ingredients.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 cups tortilla chips
  • 1 pound ground beef or turkey
  • 1 cup shredded lettuce
  • 1 cup diced tomatoes
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 can (15 oz) black beans, rinsed and drained
  • 1 cup corn
  • ½ cup sour cream
  • 1 cup salsa
  • 1 unit avocado, diced

Instructions

  1. In a medium skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef or turkey, breaking it into smaller pieces using a wooden spoon. Cook until browned and fully cooked through, about 7-10 minutes. Drain excess fat, if needed.
  2. Add your preferred taco seasoning or a pinch of salt and pepper for flavoring. Mix well and let it cook for another minute to absorb the spices.
  3. On a large serving platter or in individual bowls, layer the tortilla chips evenly.
  4. Sprinkle the cooked meat over the chips. Then, layer on the shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, shredded cheese, black beans, and corn.
  5. Top your salad with a drizzle of sour cream and salsa. Add diced avocado for extra creaminess.
  6. Serve the salad right away for the best crunch. Enjoy!

Notes

  • Choose your favorite brand of tortilla chips for the best crunch.
  • Feel free to substitute the meat with beans or grilled chicken for a lighter option.
  • Fresh corn will add sweetness to your dish.
  • Consider using Greek yogurt as a substitute for sour cream.
