My Favorite Nacho Recipe

tortilla chips

Baked chips are lower in fat, while homemade can be made from cheaper tortillas.

cheddar cheese

🥗Healthier: reduced-fat cheese

💰Cheaper: processed cheese

sour cream

🥗Healthier: Greek yogurt

💰Cheaper: plain yogurt

Start by spreading 3 cans of premium cheddar nacho cheese on a greased sheet pan from edge to edge.

Sprinkle 2 lbs of cooked ground beef evenly on top of the cheddar cheese sauce.

Add the entire packet of taco seasoning to the cheese and meat mixture for flavor.

Distribute mild pico on top of the ground beef and cheese, using about half of the container.

Scoop green chilies and distribute them over the mixture, using the whole can.

Sprinkle 1 bag of reduced fat Mexican blend cheese on top of everything to help it stick together.

Add chopped cilantro on top, or skip it if you don't like cilantro.

Preheat the oven to 350°F and bake for 15 to 20 minutes until the cheese is melted.

Spread party size nacho cheese Doritos evenly on a larger sheet pan.

Douse the Doritos with the baked cheese and toppings.

Add dollops of sour cream on top for creaminess.
