Step‑by‑Step Instructions for Ultimate Nachos
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Gather your ingredients.
  2. In a large skillet over medium heat, brown the ground beef for about 5 minutes until fully cooked. Drain excess grease, stir in taco seasoning, and cook another 5 minutes.
  3. Add refried beans and a splash of water to the skillet. Stir until creamy and well combined, about 2-3 minutes.
  4. On a rimmed sheet pan, spread a layer of tortilla chips. Top with the beef and bean mixture, shredded cheese, and pickled jalapeños.
  5. Bake for 10-15 minutes until the cheese is melted and the chips are golden.
  6. Remove from the oven and add diced tomatoes, chopped red onion, and avocado. Top with sour cream and cilantro.
  7. Serve immediately with extra toppings or salsas.
