Loaded Beef and Bean Nachos

Ingredients

2 teaspoons olive oil 
½ cup yellow onion, finely diced 
3 cloves garlic, minced 
1 pound lean ground beef (90/10) 
½ teaspoon kosher salt 
½ teaspoon garlic powder 
½ teaspoon onion powder 
¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
Nachos
2 cups Chipotle Refried Beans or your favorite canned refried beans
12 to 14 ounces thick tortilla chips, or more as needed 
3 cups shredded cheddar Jack cheese 
Fresh Toppings
2 Roma tomatoes, seeded and diced
4 green onions, thinly sliced 
½ cup sliced black olives 
Chopped fresh cilantro
For Serving
Guacamole 
Sour cream 
Sliced jalapeños (fresh or pickled)

Preparation

Preheat the oven to 350°F. 

Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and cook until translucent, about 2 to 3 minutes. Stir in the garlic and cook for 30 seconds. 

Add the ground beef and cook, breaking it into crumbles, until browned and no longer pink, about 8 to 10 minutes. Drain any excess grease. 

Stir in the TABASCO® Brand Original Red Sauce, salt, garlic powder, onion powder, and black pepper until well combined. If needed, add a splash of water to keep the beef moist. 

Arrange half of the tortilla chips on a large baking sheet. Spoon half of the refried beans over the chips, followed by half of the seasoned beef and half of the shredded cheese. Repeat with the remaining chips, beans, beef, and cheese. 

Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly. 

Remove from the oven and garnish with the tomatoes, green onions, black olives, and cilantro. Serve immediately with guacamole, sour cream, sliced jalapeños, and additional TABASCO® Brand Original Red Sauce.
