Ingredients

4 cups Tortilla chips
8 oz Ground beef (80/20)
2 tbsp Taco seasoning
2 tbsp Water(optional)
1/2 cup Refried beans
1 cup Shredded cheddar cheese
1/2 cup Salsa
2 tbsp Sour cream(optional)
1 tbsp Sliced jalapeños(optional)

Instructions

1
Prep (10 minutes): Heat a skillet over medium-high. Add ground beef and cook 6–7 minutes, breaking it up, until browned. Stir in taco seasoning and water (if using) and cook 1–2 minutes until thickened.
2
Layer (about 3 minutes within cook time): Spread tortilla chips on a sheet pan or broiler-safe plate. Spoon refried beans over the chips, then add the seasoned beef and sprinkle with cheddar cheese.
3
Broil (about 7 minutes within cook time): Broil 3–5 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly. Watch closely to prevent burning.
4
Finish (about 1–2 minutes): Remove from the oven and top with salsa, sour cream, and jalapeños. Serve immediately.
