Loaded Beef Nachos Recipe
I load these nachos with sour cream, salsa, sliced olives, jalapeños, and chopped green onion, but all these toppings are optional – use what you like! I’ve made many, many plates of loaded nachos before settling on this version. I have also made them with turkey, and a vegetarian version, but really enjoy them with beef.

Ingredients
Taco Seasoning:
5 teaspoons paprika
1 ¼ teaspoons garlic powder
1 ¼ teaspoons ground cumin
1 ¼ teaspoons onion powder
1 teaspoon chili powder
1 teaspoon oregano leaves
1 ½ teaspoons salt
Nachos:
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 pound ground beef
1 cup diced onion
1 cup diced green bell pepper
1 ( 10 ounce) can diced tomatoes with green chiles (such as Rotel®)
1 (15 ounce) can Mexican-style corn (optional)
1 (16 ounce) can refried beans
1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese, or as needed
4 ounces tortilla chips, or as needed
Toppings (optional):
1/2 cup sour cream (Optional)
1/2 cup salsa (Optional)
1/4 cup sliced black olives (Optional)
1/4 cup sliced jalapeños (Optional)
1/4 cup green onion
Directions
To make the taco seasoning: Stir paprika, garlic powder, cumin, onion powder, chili powder, oregano, and salt together in a small bowl; set aside.
To make the beef mixture: Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat; cook and stir ground beef in the hot skillet until browned and crumbly, 5 to 7 minutes. Stir in onion and green pepper; cook and stir with oil and juices from browned meat until much of the liquid has evaporated, about 2 minutes more.
Stir 1/2 can diced tomatoes with chilies and Mexican-style corn into skillet. Season beef mixture to taste with prepared taco seasoning mix.
Stir together the remaining 1/2 can diced tomatoes with chilies and refried beans in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave on High until heated through, stirring every 30 seconds, 1 to 3 minutes.
To assemble the nachos: Lay half of tortilla chips in a single layer on a microwave-safe plate; drop teaspoons of refried beans onto chips, followed by beef mixture and shredded cheese. Repeat with remaining chips, beans, beef, and cheese to make a second layer.
Microwave on High until cheese is melted and nachos are warm, 2 to 3 minutes. Top with sour cream, salsa, olives, jalapeños, and green onion as desired.
