1 packet taco seasoning (or homemade: ½ tbsp cumin, ½ tbsp garlic powder, ½ tbsp onion powder, 1 tbsp smoked paprika, and a pinch of oregano)

½ cup water

1 can (15 oz) refried beans (optional for extra heartiness)

For the Nachos:

1 large bag low salt tortilla chips

2 cups low-fat shredded cheddar cheese (or a mix of cheddar & Monterey Jack)

1 cup low-fat shredded mozzarella cheese

½ cup low-fat nacho cheese sauce (optional)

Toppings:

1 cup diced tomatoes

½ cup diced red onion

½ cup sliced black olives

½ cup pickled jalapeños

1 avocado, diced (or guacamole)

½ cup low-fat sour cream

¼ cup chopped cilantro

Salsa & hot sauce (optional)

Instructions:

1. Cook the Beef: In a large skillet, cook ground beef over medium heat until browned. Drain excess fat. Add taco seasoning and water, simmer for 5 minutes until thickened. Stir in refried beans (if using) and set aside.
