How to Make Loaded Nachos Supreme

sour cream

🥗Healthier: Greek yogurt

💰Cheaper: plain yogurt

Greek yogurt reduces calories while maintaining creaminess

shredded cheese

🥗Healthier: nutritional yeast

💰Cheaper: processed cheese

Nutritional yeast offers a cheesy flavor with fewer calories.

ground beef

🥗Healthier: ground turkey

💰Cheaper: canned beans

Ground turkey is leaner, while beans are a cost-effective protein.

guacamole

🥗Healthier: avocado mash

💰Cheaper: avocado dip

Avocado dip can be less expensive while still providing flavor.

Brown 1.5 pounds of ground meat in a skillet and drain the fat.

Add a packet of taco seasoning and 3/4 cup of water to the meat, then stir and let simmer.

Drain a 15-ounce can of black beans and mix it into the meat mixture, letting it thicken.

In a pot over medium heat, melt 2 tablespoons of butter and mix in 2 tablespoons of flour to create a roux.

Slowly whisk in 2 cups of whole milk and bring to a near boil while stirring constantly.

Add 8 ounces of shredded pepper jack cheese to the milk mixture and stir until melted and thickened.

Prepare a large tray with a mix of blue corn and white tortilla chips.

Drizzle the cheese sauce over the chips to act as glue for the toppings.

Scatter the meat and bean mixture evenly over the cheese-covered chips.

Add store-bought salsa using a slotted spoon to avoid excess juice.

Dollop store-bought guacamole over the nachos.

Scatter sliced black olives on top for added texture and flavor.

Use a zip-top bag to drizzle sour cream over the nachos for a decorative effect.

Sprinkle chopped scallions over the nachos for freshness.

Scatter pickled jalapeños for extra heat and flavor.

Garnish with fresh cilantro for a final touch.
