Kitchen Equipment You’ll Need

• Large skillet
• Baking sheets
• Parchment paper
• Spatula

Ingredients

• Taco Seasoning (or one packet of store-bought taco seasoning)
• 1 pound ground beef
• 1/2 yellow onion, diced
• 2 bags tortilla chips (16 ounces each)
• 1 can refried beans
• 16 ounces shredded cheese of choice (cheddar and Monterey jack recommended)
• 3 roma tomatoes, diced
• 2 to 3 green onions, sliced

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
2. In a skillet over medium-high heat, brown the ground beef and diced onions until fully cooked, about 8 minutes. Drain the excess fat.
3. Return the beef to the pan, sprinkle with taco seasoning, and stir in 3/4 cup water. Simmer until the liquid mostly evaporates, about 5 minutes.
4. While the beef is cooking, spread a generous layer of tortilla chips on two baking sheets lined with parchment paper.
5. Spoon refried beans across the chips on each baking sheet. The beans will spread as they heat in the oven.
6. Divide the cooked beef evenly between the two pans of chips.
7. Sprinkle shredded cheese over the top of each pan.
8. Bake in the oven for 15 minutes or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
9. Remove from the oven and top with diced tomatoes and green onions.
10. Serve immediately and enjoy!

Tips for Success

• Use thick, sturdy tortilla chips to hold up the toppings. Thin chips may break under the weight.
• If preparing for a smaller group, feel free to halve the recipe.

Additional Tips or Variations

• Consider adding jalapeños or sliced black olives for extra zest.
• For a creamier texture, add a drizzle of sour cream or guacamole before serving.
