Copycat Triple Layer Nachos
Copycat triple layer nachos emerged from work chatter about how it had been a year since Taco Bell took away this beloved menu item, inspiring restaurant recreation efforts. This nostalgic recipe recreates discontinued fast-food favorites while allowing customization and quality ingredient control. The copycat approach brings restaurant memories home.
Last week at work there was some chatter about how it had been a year since Taco Bell® took the Triple Layer Nachos off their menu and how they were missed. I set out on a mission and this is what I came up with. Note: the restaurant chain sells their own line of refried beans, queso, and sauce so that makes it all the more easy to recreate this at home. This will dirty 4 pans but it is so worth it!

Ingredients
1 (16 ounce) can fat-free refried beans
¼ cup water
½ (15.5 ounce) jar prepared salsa con queso
2 tablespoons water
½ cup red enchilada sauce
¼ cup Taco Bell® mild sauce
½ cup vegetable oil
12 (6 inch) white corn tortillas, cut into chips
salt to taste
Directions
Line a plate with paper towels.
Combine refried beans and 1/4 cup water in a small saucepan over low heat.
Combine salsa con queso and 2 tablespoons of water in a second saucepan and heat over low heat.
Combine enchilada sauce and mild sauce in a third saucepan and heat over low heat.
Preheat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add tortilla chips to the skillet, making sure to not overcrowd. Cook for 4 minutes, flipping halfway through. Use tongs and transfer chips to the paper towel-lined plate; sprinkle with salt. Repeat with remaining chips.
Divide chips between 4 serving dishes. Scatter beans on top of chips, drizzle with cheese, then drizzle with red sauce. Serve immediately.
