How to Make Grilled Taco Nachos

  1. Preheat grill to medium-low heat (or prepare a low-burning campfire).
  2. Tear off four large sheets of heavy-duty aluminum foil (approximately 18x12 inches each).
  3. Lightly spray each foil sheet with cooking spray.
  4. Divide 12 oz of tortilla chips evenly among the four foil sheets, creating a base layer in the center of each.
  5. Layer your desired toppings (see ingredient list below) evenly over the chips. Suggestions include 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese, 1/4 cup taco seasoned ground beef, 1/4 cup diced tomatoes, 1/4 cup sliced black olives, 1/4 cup shredded lettuce, and 2 tablespoons of your favorite salsa.
  6. Carefully fold the foil over the toppings to create sealed packets, ensuring no openings to prevent spills and allow steam to build up.
  7. Place the foil packets on the grill grate or directly on the hot coals of the campfire.
  8. Grill for 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly, and the chips are warm and slightly crispy.
  9. Carefully remove the foil packets from the grill using tongs. Let them cool slightly before opening.
  10. Top with sour cream (optional) and enjoy immediately!
