Ingredients

  • 16 ounces tortilla chips
  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 2 tablespoons taco seasoning
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 15 ounce can refried beans
  • 4 cups shredded cheddar cheese

Additional Topping Ideas:

  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1/2 cup guacamole
  • 1/3 cup sliced olives
  • 1/2 cup fresh salsa
  • 1/3 cup roughly chopped cilantro
  • 1/4 cup sliced or pickled jalapenos
  • 1/4 cup diced red onion

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add in ground beef. Use a spoon to break up the meat and cook 8 to 10 minutes until beef is fully cooked through. Drain excess grease. Add in taco seasoning, stir, and cook 60-90 seconds.
  • Pour in water and add in refried beans. Stir to combine and cook until heated through. Keep warm.
  • Spread chips out onto a baking sheet (or other desired oven-safe baking dish including a 9×13 pan, cast iron skillet, or even a pie plate).
  • Sprinkle 2 cups of the cheese over the chips. Dot with the beef and bean mixture. Top with remaining 2 cups of cheese.
  • Bake in the 350 degree oven for 5 to 7 minutes, until cheese is fully melted.
  • Remove from heat and add additional toppings as desired. Serve warm.
