Loaded Nachos

Prep time: 5 minutes

Ready in: 20 minutes

Serves: 4-5

INGREDIENTS:

10 corn tortillas, cut into sixths

Vegetable oil for frying

Queso (can be store-bought)

2 packets of Hereford Beef Taco Filling

- The remaining ingredients are optional or can be swapped for whatever you like -

Diced red onion

Chopped jalapeño peppers

Shredded Mexican-mixed cheese

Diced tomato

Chopped scallion/spring onion

Sour cream

Guacamole or guacamole salsa

INSTRUCTIONS:

1) Prep the toppings, which can include red onion, jalapeño peppers, tomatoes, scallion, shredded cheeses, sour cream, or guacamole.

2) Fry the tortilla chips in batches (so as not to overcrowd the pan) in a generous amount of oil on medium heat for about 2-3 minutes, flipping occasionally until golden. Set aside each batch on a wire rack, and salt generously to taste while still hot.

3) Separately warm the queso and the Hereford Beef Taco Filling according to package instructions.

4) Place the tortilla chips on a serving tray, and begin building the nachos. Recommended order: queso, Hereford Beef Taco Filling, red onion, jalapeño peppers, shredded cheese, tomatoes, scallion, a few dollops of sour cream, and then guacamole salsa. Amounts of each are subject to your preference.

Serve warm and enjoy!
