Step 1

preheat the oven to 400°F. Prepare a baking sheet (11 x 15” or similar) by lining it with foil or parchment paper.

Step 2

heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a large skillet over medium high heat. Cook and crumble the beef, 5 - 7 minutes, until cooked through. Drain excess grease.

Step 3

add the taco seasoning and the recommended amount of water called for on the packet (most say ⅓ cup). Continue cooking until all of the liquid is gone. Remove from heat.

Step 4

add chips to the baking sheet then top with beef, beans, corn and cheese.

Step 5

bake for 5 - 6 minutes, until the cheese is melted.

Step 6

add the nacho toppings of olives, red onion, tomato, jalapeños and cilantro. Optionally, top with sour cream or make a lime crema by mixing 3 tablespoons of sour cream with 2 teaspoons of lime juice and then drizzling it over the nachos.

Step 7

serve the nachos straight from the pan while they're still warm.
