Food: Chili's Loaded Nachos

I am totally obsessed with Chili's loaded nachos. They are delicious and meaty and AMAZING. I decided I'd give it a go and attempt to create my own version of the tasty appetizer for a meal. The experiment was a great success...mmmmm.




Chili's Loaded Nachos
Recipe by Desiree Roughton

* 4 lg. flour tortillas (I used jalapeno, cilantro flavored)
* 1 lb. ground beef
* 1 packet taco seasoning
* 2 c. shredded cheddar or Mexican blend cheese
* 1 c. sour cream
* 2-4 green onions, finely chopped
* jalapenos (with juice)
optional:
* lime, cilantro, tomatoes, etc.

Directions:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Place tortillas on a baking sheet and bake for 5 minutes. The tortillas should be slightly brown but still soft.

Brown ground beef in large skillet and add taco seasoning as directed.

Top each tortilla with equal amounts of taco meat (this seems like a lot and it is! Hey, they aren't called loaded for nothing).

Cover with grated cheese (I used almost the whole bag) and bake at 350 degrees until cheese is melted, approximately 10 minutes.

Meanwhile, mix 1 c. sour creme with a tablespoon (or more) jalapeno juice, add a spritz of lime if desired.

Top each tortilla with jalapenos, green onions, and cilantro, tomatoes, etc. as desired. Drizzle with jalapeno sour cream.

Use a pizza cutter to cut each round into 6 slices.

ENJOY!
