Ingredients:

• Season ground beef or turkey with salt and black pepper for a simple yet flavorful touch.

• Enhance the nachos with Tostitos Salsa Con Queso Medium - 15oz for a cheesy flavor.

• Add a bit of spice with Pace Salsa Medium - 16oz.

• Consider including:

  • Protein-rich and textured Black Beans.

  • Sliced Jalapenos for a spicy kick.

  • Creamy and cool Sour Cream, a perfect contrast to the heat.

  • Creamy Guacamole for a touch of richness.

  • Sliced Black Olives for a briny finish.

  • Fresh Cilantro to add a burst of freshness.

Kitchen Utensils:

• Medium Skillet: Used for cooking and browning the meat.

• 3 Spoons: One for the meat, one for the cheese, and one for the salsa.

• Small to medium microwaveable bowl: For heating the cheese.

• Strainer: For draining the meat after browning.

Instructions:

Cooking the meat:

• Step 1: Ensure your meat is thawed if frozen or at room temperature before moving on.

• Step 2: Position your skillet on the stovetop over medium heat.

• Step 3: Cook and stir your ground beef or turkey in the skillet until it is fully browned.

• Step 4: Remove any excess fat/grease from the meat, then return it to the skillet. Season with salt, black pepper, or your preferred seasoning, and cook and stir for about 4 minutes to enhance the flavors.

Heating the Cheese:

• Step 1: Take your jar of cheese and spoon it into a small to medium microwave-safe bowl.

• Step 2: Microwave the bowl on high for 5-10 minutes, remembering to stir the cheese every 3-5 minutes to prevent burning and ensure uniform heating.

• Step 3: After heating the cheese, stir it well and get it ready for easy scooping.

Layering and Creating a Nacho Masterpiece

• Arrange the Chips: Place a layer of tortilla chips on a plate, covering the surface. Alternatively, you can crush the chips into a bowl to create a nacho bowl.

• Add the Toppings: Sprinkle the cooked meat, melted cheese, salsa, and any other desired toppings over the chips on the plate or in the bowl.

• Finish and Serve: Decorate your nachos with pico de gallo, sliced jalapenos, sour cream dollops, guacamole, sliced black olives, and a dash of fresh cilantro.

Tips for Nacho Perfection:

• Don't Overload: While it's tempting to pile on all the toppings, be mindful not to overload the chips to maintain their crispiness.

• Customize: Feel free to customize the toppings to suit your preferences. Add cooked chicken, swap black beans for refried beans, or incorporate different cheeses for a unique twist.

• Freshness is Key: Opt for fresh, quality ingredients, especially in toppings like pico de gallo and guacamole to elevate the flavors.
