How to Make Mini Taco Nachos

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a large skillet, brown 1 lb ground beef over medium-high heat. Drain off any excess grease.
  3. Add 1 packet (1 oz) taco seasoning, 1 cup water, and bring to a simmer. Cook until heated through.
  4. In a bowl, toss 6 cups of tortilla chips with 1/2 cup of your favorite shredded cheese.
  5. Evenly divide the tortilla chip mixture among 6 individual oven-safe dishes or ramekins.
  6. Top each with 1/3 cup of the taco meat mixture.
  7. Sprinkle with additional cheese (about 1/4 cup per serving) and any desired toppings (diced tomatoes, onions, jalapeños, sour cream, etc.).
  8. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  9. Let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy!
