00:00Loaded Beef Skillet Nachos
00:02These skillet nachos layer seasoned beef, crispy chips, and bubbling cheese into a quick, crowd-pleasing dish.
00:09Strategic layering ensures every chip gets toppings, delivering crunchy, savory, melty, fresh bites with almost no effort.
00:16For the beef layer, you'll need a little olive oil if desired, about a pound of lean ground beef,
00:21and a packet of medium-heat, reduced-sodium taco seasoning.
00:24For the nacho base, you'll need plenty of corn tortilla chips, preferably a hint of lime variety,
00:30a jar of cowboy caviar, or a thick black bean corn salsa, and a few cups of shredded Mexican cheese blend.
00:37For the garnish, you'll need a couple of sliced green onions and a small amount of minced fresh cilantro.
00:43Preheat the oven to 350 degrees and set out a large, oven-safe skillet so the cheese melts evenly without burning the chips.
00:51Cook the ground beef in a hot skillet with a little oil until browned and no pink remains.
00:57Stir in the taco seasoning until the beef is fully coated, then set it aside while preparing the nacho layers.
01:03Spread half the tortilla chips in the skillet for the first layer.
01:07Top with half the seasoned beef, half the cowboy caviar, and half the cheese, then repeat the layers.
01:13Bake until the cheese melts and bubbles, then finish with green onions and cilantro, and serve immediately.
01:18Store leftover nachos for two days, reheat in an oven rather than a microwave, to restore some crispness.
01:26If prepping ahead, keep the cooked beef, chips, and cheese separate until assembly.
01:31Cook the beef up to two days ahead and reheat gently.
01:35Prep garnishes the day of serving and keep everything chilled.
01:38Set up a ready-to-layer assembly station for quick building.
01:41For a crowd, double the recipe using two skillets for even heating.
01:45For smaller groups, halve the ingredients and use a 10-inch skillet with a slightly shorter bake.
01:50These nachos show how simple, generous food can bring people together.
