Layer chips, browned hamburger, cheese, black olives, beans and any other toppings you desire. Bake for 5-10 minutes and there you have it! A tasty treat for the family to share, it's even gluten free!
I also highly suggest drizzling or dipping these nachos in 4 ingredient guacamole, healthy queso, homemade Baja sauce or creamy poblano sauce. They are both SOO good!
Ingredients:
- Corn tortilla chips
- Ground beef (or sub shredded beef)!
- Gluten free taco seasoning
- Cheddar cheese
- Black olives
- Black beans
- Sliced jalapenos
- Refried beans
- Other optional topping ideas: avocado, tomatoes, sours cream, cilantro, salsa
How to make nachos:
Keep scrolling for the full recipe. We’ll start here with a quick rundown!
- Preheat oven to 350°F.
- Brown ground beef on the stovetop and drain excess fat.
- Layer corn tortilla chips on large and cover with two thirds of your toppings & cheese.
- Add a second, thinner layer of chips and cover with remaining toppings.
- Finish with cheese and bake for 5-10 minutes.
- Serve with salsa, avocado, tomato, sour cream, etc.
- Enjoy!
Handy tips:
- Don't overbake: no need to bake your nachos for long! Just leave them in the oven until cheese fully melts into gooey goodness. If they bake much longer, cheese will become crispy.
- Taco seasoning: You can buy taco-seasoning mix at the store, but if gluten is an issue for you, make sure to find a brand that is specified as gluten-free (many are not). To avoid additives and gluten, you can also make your own taco seasoning at home. It's super easy!

Should you cook the ground beef before layering it on the pan with the other ingredients?
