How to make it
6 steps. Take it one step at a time.
Preheat your oven
Preheat your oven to 400°F (204°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil for easy cleanup.
In a skillet over medium-high heat, brown the ground beef
In a skillet over medium-high heat, brown the ground beef until no pink remains. Drain the excess fat.
8 minStir in the taco seasoning and 1/4 cup of water
Stir in the taco seasoning and 1/4 cup (60 ml) of water. Simmer for 2-3 minutes until the liquid has thickened and the beef is well coated.
3 minSpread the tortilla chips
Spread the tortilla chips in an even layer on the prepared baking sheet. Spoon the seasoned beef over the chips and sprinkle generously with the shredded cheddar cheese.
Bake in the preheated oven
Bake in the preheated oven at 400°F (204°C) for 10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
10 minRemove from the oven and top
Remove from the oven and top with diced tomatoes, red onion, and pickled jalapeños. Serve immediately while warm.
A little kitchen wisdom
For the best results, grate your own cheese to ensure it melts smoothly. Layer the cheese between the chips and the beef to act as a barrier and keep the chips from getting soggy.
