Ingredients
  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 packet taco seasoning
  • 8 to 10 cups tortilla chips
  • 1/2 cup chopped onion
  • 1 small jalapeño, slice thin
  • 1/4 to 1/3 cup sliced black olives
  • 2 cups shredded extra sharp cheddar
  • sour cream
  • chopped tomatoes
  • chopped avocado
  • salsa
Instructions
  1. Start by preparing the beef. Mix the raw meat well with 1/4 teaspoon of baking soda and 1/2 teaspoon of kosher salt. Allow it to rest for 20 minutes. This helps to maintain the moisture so the beef doesn't dry out.

  2. Heat a heavy skillet and brown the beef. Add your favorite taco seasoning packet with 1/2 cup of water and simmer. When it's cooked through, remove from the heat.

  3. Cover a large baking sheet with foil and spread the chips out over the foil.

  4. Evenly spread the beef over the chips, then top with the cheese, onion, olives and jalapeños.

  5. Bake at 400 degrees for about 15 to 20 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and starting to brown. 

  6. Top the hot nachos with sour cream, chopped tomatoes and chopped avocado. Serve with salsa.
