Kitchen Equipment You’ll Need

Oven
Stovetop
Large skillet
Baking sheets
Parchment paper

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

Step-by-Step Instructions

Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
In a large skillet over medium-high heat, brown the ground beef and diced onions until fully cooked, approximately 8 minutes. Drain any excess fat.
Return the beef to the pan, sprinkle with taco seasoning, and stir in 3/4 cup of water. Bring to a simmer, reduce heat, and let it simmer until the liquid mostly evaporates, about 5 minutes.
While the beef is cooking, lay a generous layer of tortilla chips on two baking sheets lined with parchment paper.
Spoon the refried beans evenly over the chips on each pan. The heat of the oven will help spread the beans.
Add half of the cooked ground beef to each pan of chips.
Sprinkle the shredded cheese evenly on top.
Bake in the oven for 15 minutes, until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Remove from the oven and top with diced tomatoes and sliced green onions.
Serve immediately and enjoy!

Tips for Success

For the best results, use thick and sturdy tortilla chips to hold up under the toppings. Opt for brands like Costco’s Kirkland organic tortilla chips or similar.

Additional Tips and Variations

This recipe is ideal for entertaining. If you’re cooking for a smaller group (4 to 6 people), simply halve the recipe. You can also customize the toppings by adding jalapeños, sour cream, or guacamole for extra flavor.
