Ingredients
1 lb ground beef
1 packet (1 oz) taco seasoning mix
1/2 cup water
1 can (16 oz) refried beans
1 bag (13 oz) tortilla chips (restaurant-style)
1 can (15 oz) nacho cheese sauce (or homemade)
1/2 cup sour cream
1/2 cup pico de gallo or diced tomatoes
1/4 cup sliced black olives
1/4 cup sliced jalapeños (optional)
Instructions
In a skillet over medium-high heat, cook ground beef until browned, breaking it into crumbles. Drain excess fat.
Add taco seasoning and water; stir. Simmer until thickened, about 5 minutes.
In a small saucepan, heat refried beans over medium-low heat until warm, stirring occasionally.
Spread tortilla chips on a large platter or individual plates.
Spoon warm refried beans over chips, then top with seasoned beef.
Drizzle nacho cheese sauce over the beef and chips.
Add dollops of sour cream, then spoon pico de gallo over the top.
Sprinkle with black olives and jalapeños if using. Serve immediately.
Tips
For extra crunch, use thick, sturdy tortilla chips.
Customize with guacamole or extra hot sauce.
If using homemade cheese sauce, keep it warm for easy drizzling.
