Description

These High Protein Gameday Nachos are the perfect crowd-pleaser for your next party or game day. Loaded with seasoned ground beef, melted cheddar cheese, fresh tomatoes, and topped with green onions and sour cream, they combine unbeatable flavor with a protein-packed punch.

Ingredients

Tortilla Chips

  • 4 cups tortilla chips

Meat and Cheese

  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 1 ½ cups shredded cheddar cheese

Fresh Toppings

  • 1 cup diced tomatoes
  • ½ cup diced green onions
  • ½ cup sour cream

Seasoning

  • Your favorite taco seasoning, to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat Your Equipment: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to prepare for baking the nachos.
  2. Cook the Ground Beef: Brown the ground beef in a skillet over medium heat, stirring occasionally until fully cooked. Season with your favorite taco seasoning to add spicy and savory flavor.
  3. Prepare the Baking Sheet: Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil to prevent sticking and make cleanup easier.
  4. Assemble the Nachos: Spread the tortilla chips evenly across the lined baking sheet. Evenly distribute the cooked ground beef, diced tomatoes, and shredded cheddar cheese over the chips to ensure every bite is flavorful.
  5. Bake the Nachos: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for about 10 minutes, or until the cheese has melted completely and is bubbly.
  6. Add Fresh Toppings: Remove the nachos from the oven and immediately sprinkle diced green onions on top. Add a dollop of sour cream for creaminess and balance.
  7. Serve and Enjoy: Serve the nachos hot right away to enjoy the crispy chips paired with warm, cheesy, and savory toppings alongside the creamy sour cream.

Notes

  • For extra heat, add jalapeño slices or a dash of hot sauce before baking.
  • You can substitute ground turkey or chicken for a leaner protein option.
  • To keep chips crispy, add fresh toppings like sour cream and green onions only after baking.
  • Use a rimmed baking sheet to catch any melted cheese or drippings for easier cleanup.
