Ground turkey is leaner, while ground pork is often cheaper.

Brown 2 pounds of ground beef in a skillet, breaking it down into small pieces.

Season the ground beef with adobo and cracked black pepper.

Once the meat starts to brown, add taco seasoning (2 packets for 2 pounds of beef).

Pour off excess oil from the cooked beef.

Add water to the skillet with the taco seasoning and beef to create a saucy mixture.

Simmer the beef mixture on low heat for about 10 minutes.

Chop fresh tomatoes for topping the nachos.

Prepare the tortilla rounds on a serving platter.

Heat salsa con queso until bubbly and pour it over the tortilla rounds.

Top the nachos with the seasoned beef, refried beans, sliced jalapeños, and chunky salsa.

Serve immediately while hot.
