Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Heat a 12-inch skillet over medium-high heat. Add ground beef and diced onion, breaking up the meat as it cooks until browned, about 5–6 minutes.

  2. Step 2

    Drain excess fat from the skillet. Stir in chili powder, cumin, salt, and pepper. Add water and simmer for 2 minutes until slightly thickened.

  3. Step 3

    Spread tortilla chips on a large serving platter or cast iron skillet.

  4. Step 4

    Spoon seasoned beef evenly over the chips. Scatter shredded cheddar cheese and jalapeño slices on top.

  5. Step 5

    Place under a preheated broiler for 2–3 minutes until cheese is melted and bubbly. Watch carefully to prevent burning.

  6. Step 6

    Remove from broiler. Dollop sour cream and guacamole on top. Garnish with fresh cilantro and squeeze lime juice over the nachos. Serve immediately.
