kilograms
of ground beef
1
packet of Nachos
4
cups
shredded cheese
1 1/2
onion
3
jars of cream cheese
2
tomato
4
small lettuce
Instructions
Cook ground beef in a skillet until browned. Add onions, garlic, chili powder, cumin, salt, and pepper; cook until fragrant.
Blend tomatoes, onion, cilantro, jalapeno, lime juice, and salt to make salsa. Set aside.
Mash avocados with lime juice and salt. Stir in red onion, cilantro, garlic, and tomato to make guacamole.
Heat refried beans, and add cumin and chili powder for flavor.
Layer beef, salsa, guacamole, beans, and cream cheese in a dish.
Sprinkle shredded cheese on top.
Serve with tortilla chips and enjoy immediately or refrigerate for later.
Notes
Customize the salsa layer by adding your favorite spices, such as cayenne pepper or chipotle powder.
To make it spicier, add diced jalapenos to each layer or drizzle hot sauce on top before serving.
Make sure to use ripe avocados for the guacamole layer for a creamy and flavorful dip.
For a healthier option, use baked tortilla chips instead of fried ones.
Double or triple the recipe to make a larger batch for parties or gatherings. Just make sure to use a large enough dish to accommodate all the layers.
