Mommy Cooks: Ultimate Super Nacho Supreme

This is so easy to make in fact I can't wait for Sofia to grow a little bigger (not too fast though!) so she can help me prepare it!



INGREDIENTS:
  • 3/4 Bag of Tostitos Restaurant Style Tortilla Chips --- healthy alternative? Trader Joe's Veggie and Flax Seed Tortilla Chips or Trader Joe's Organic White Tortilla Chips
  • 1 lb of lean ground beef (I used 90/10 lean meat) --- healthy alternative? ground turkey breast
  • 1 taco mix (I used El Paso medium) --- healthy alternative? Homemade Taco Mix!
  • 1 to 1/2 cup of salsa (I used Tostitos medium salsa) --- healthy alternative? Homemade Salsa!
  • 2-3 cups of shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 to 1/2 can of refried beans (I used canned) --- healthy alternative? Homemade Refried Beans!
  • 1 chopped fresh tomato
  • a bunch of chopped cilantro - I used A LOT because we are big fans!  
  • 1 avocado, smashed 
  •  3 dallops of sour cream or any amount you desire --- healthy alternative? I used fat free sour cream
  • 1/2 cup of water
  • pickled jalapeno peppers amount as needed
 PROCEDURE:
  • Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees.
  • Brown the meat then drain excess water. When beef is all brown and dry add the water, then add the taco mix. Let it simmer uncovered until thick.  
  • Arrange one layer of chips on the baking pan. Spread beans first and then cheese on top, repeat this on a second layer.
  • Add the beef on top and stick it in the oven for approximately 10 minutes or until cheese is melted.
  • When done, add the guacamole, salsa, tomatoes, jalapeno peppers and the cilantro.
  • Finally add the sour cream on top and enjoy while chips, beef and cheese are warm! :) This will (probably) serve 4-5 people! :D
