I love serving it with homemade salsa or a simple corn dip on the side.

8. Remove from the oven and drop dollops of guacamole and sour cream over the nachos, then sprinkle with olives and tomatoes.

Important Recipe Notes
- Use sturdy tortilla chips. Restaurant-style tortilla chips work best because they hold the toppings without getting soggy. Thin chips can break once the beef and beans are added.
- Spread the chips in an even layer. Try not to pile the chips too high on the pan. A single layer helps the cheese melt evenly and makes sure every chip gets some toppings.
- Drain the beef well. After cooking the ground beef, drain any grease so the nachos do not become oily while baking.
- Add cold toppings after baking. Guacamole, sour cream, tomatoes, and olives should be added after the nachos come out of the oven so they stay fresh and cool.
- Serve right away. Nachos are best enjoyed while the cheese is still warm and melted. If they sit too long, the chips can soften.
- Easy topping swaps. You can add extras like shredded lettuce, green onions, pico de gallo, or extra jalapeños if your family likes more flavor.
