Ingredients
1/2 pound lean ground beef
1/2 cup diced yellow onion
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1/4 cup water
2 tablespoons taco seasoning
8 ounces Colby jack cheese, shredded
12 ounces tortilla chips
Sour cream, for topping
Diced tomatoes, for topping
Chopped fresh cilantro, for topping
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 450°F and lightly spray a 12-cup bundt pan with cooking spray.
- In a large skillet over medium-high heat, cook the ground beef, diced onion, salt, and black pepper for 6–7 minutes until the beef is browned. Drain excess grease.
- Return the skillet to medium heat and stir in the water and taco seasoning. Cook for 2–3 minutes until the liquid reduces and the beef is evenly coated.
- Sprinkle half of the shredded cheese into the bottom of the bundt pan. Add half of the beef mixture and one-third of the tortilla chips without pressing down.
- Repeat the layers with the remaining cheese, remaining beef mixture, and another third of the tortilla chips, making sure not to overfill the pan.
- Bake for about 10 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Carefully place a heat-proof serving plate over the bundt pan and invert the nachos onto the plate. Gently remove the pan and reposition any cheese that sticks.
- Top with sour cream, diced tomatoes, and chopped cilantro before serving immediately.
Notes
Use sturdy restaurant-style tortilla chips for the best structure and crunch.
Ground turkey or shredded chicken can be substituted for the beef.
Add sliced jalapeños or pepper jack cheese for extra heat.
Black beans, corn, or sliced olives make great additions for extra flavor and texture.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
Reheat in a 350°F oven for 8–10 minutes to maintain crispness.
