Best 4 Fully Loaded Nacho Cups Recipes

SINGLE-SERVE NACHO CUPS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400°F. Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the scallions, garlic, chili powder, cumin, and salt and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 3 minutes. Add the beef and cook, breaking up with a wooden spoon, until browned, about 5 minutes. Stir in the green chiles.
• Combine the cheeses in a small bowl. Line the cups of a muffin tin with tortilla chips, breaking to cover bottom and line sides. Divide ⅓ of the cheese mixture among cups. Divide ½ of the beef mixture among cups and top with half of the remaining cheese mixture. Top with remaining beef mixture, and finish with cheese. Bake until the cups are heated through, cheese is melted, and the edges are browned, 9 to 11 minutes.
• Just before serving, top each cup with diced avocado, sour cream, pico de gallo, pickled jalapeños, and fresh cilantro.

LOADED NACHOS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Grease a baking sheet with cooking spray.
• Arrange a layer of tortilla chips on the tray. Sprinkle 1/2 of the cooked beef in a layer over the chips (don't drown the chips!) then layer with 1/3 of the beans, 1/3 of the jalapeno peppers, 1/3 of the pico de gallo, and 1/2 of the Cheddar cheese; drizzle 1/3 of the queso blanco over top. Repeat layers once more, starting with chips and ending with queso blanco. Cover with aluminum foil.
• Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for 5 more minutes.
• Remove from the oven and transfer nachos to a platter. Top with shredded lettuce and remaining beans, jalapeno peppers, and pico de gallo.
• Stir sour cream with just enough water to thin slightly; drizzle over the nachos. Drizzle remaining queso blanco over top and sprinkle with scallions. Arrange remaining chips around the edges of the platter.

LOADED NACHO CASSEROLE RECIPE

Steps:

• In a large skillet, cook the beef, onions, and peppers over medium high heat until meat is not longer pink and vegetables are tender.
• Stir in the tomatoes, beans, corn, tomato sauce, chilis, and taco seasoning and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low and let simmer for about 20 minutes (the mixture will be kind of thin).
• Spray a 9x13" baking pan with non-stick cooking spray.
• Layer half of the tortilla chips in the bottom (I kind of crushed them with my hands after placing them in the pan) and top with half of the meat mixture.
• Repeat layers and then top with shredded cheese
• Bake uncovered at 350 degrees for about 20-25 minutes or until the cheese the melted and the casserole is heated through.
