I make my own taco seasoning, but you can use Old El Paso or whatever you like… (making it is easy and if you want to know the recipe, request it in the comments…
Taco Seasoning
Ground Pork and beef (1/2 lb total)
1/2 lb bacon
1 tomato
1/2 medium sized onion
1 can of Low-fat re-fried beans
Shredded Cheddar cheese (I used “taco” cheese for this, but its not necessary)
Shredded Lettuce (used about 1/2 a very small head)
Sour Cream
Chipotle Salsa (but you can use any type you like)
Any damn brand of plan Totilla chips you like
One small (convenience store sized) bag of Nacho Cheesier (or Taco) Doritos
Cook the pork and beef in 1/2 of the taco seasoning and the bacon in the rest, remember that the bacon will produce more grease so its not necessary to add much water for that step of cooking. I personally thing cooking the bacon with the pre-cooked ground meat is best but you can reverse the process. Remember you will BAKE it so don’t over-cook any of the meat.
Spread the chips on the baking surface as shown in the photo below (as you would any nachos)
spread the meat, beans, and onions on top and then sprinkle the cheese on top of that. I also have used Salsa con Queso with mixed results. Personally I think a thick chipotle salsa and Velveeta(tm) is best, but you have to be able to get Velveeta(tm), and that’s not so easy for me sometimes… either way you need some heavier cheese like shredded taco or cheddar.
Bake at about 350 until the whole mess is melted
take it out and apply the sour cream (and guacamole, or whatever you like…)
Spread the tomatoes and lettuce and then use salsa, taco sauce, or whatever your heart desires (we tried all of those) and enjoy.
The result:
The only way to make Nachos
I made this in TAIWAN, so, you may have access to more things than me, but not bad… and damned tasty. My friend Wei seemed to become addicted to it… he kept getting “another helping” haha!
Final step:
Go to the Doctor and get some Lipitor. Then you will be golden…
