Ingredients
- ½ pound lean ground beef
- ½ cup yellow onion, diced
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- ¼ cup water
- 2 tablespoons taco seasoning
- 8 ounces Colby Jack cheese, shredded
- 12 ounces Tostitos brand tortilla chips
- Cooking spray (for bundt pan)
- Optional garnishes: sour cream, diced tomatoes, fresh cilantro
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 450°F (232°C)
- Prepare your bundt pan by spraying a 12-cup bundt pan generously with cooking spray
- Cook the beef mixture: In a large skillet over medium-high heat, combine the lean ground beef, diced yellow onion, salt, and black pepper. Cook for 6-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until there's no pink meat visible
- Drain excess fat from the beef mixture and return the skillet to medium heat
- Add seasoning and water: Stir in ¼ cup water and 2 tablespoons taco seasoning into the beef and onion mixture. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, allowing the liquid to evaporate and intensify the flavors
- Layer your nachos in the bundt pan: Start by adding half of the shredded Colby Jack cheese evenly at the bottom of the pan. Next, layer half of the seasoned ground beef on top of the cheese, followed by ⅓ of the tortilla chips
- Add the remaining layers: Sprinkle the remaining cheese over the chips, then add the rest of the beef mixture. Top with the last ⅓ of the tortilla chips, distributing them evenly
- Bake to perfection: Place the bundt pan on a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 10 minutes. Carefully invert the baked nachos onto a serving platter and slice like a cake for serving
- Serve with optional garnishes, such as sour cream, diced tomatoes, and fresh cilantro
Notes
Use lean ground beef to keep the recipe healthier.
Ensure the bundt pan is adequately greased to avoid sticking.
Allow the nachos to rest for a few minutes before inverting for an easy release.
Optional: Add toppings like jalapeños or guacamole for extra flavor.
Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for 2-3 hours, or refrigerate for up to 1 day.
