    🛒 Ingredients

    • For the Potato Base:

    • For the Beef Topping:

      • ½ pound lean ground beef
      • 1 teaspoon chili powder
      • ½ teaspoon cumin
      • ½ teaspoon smoked paprika
      • ½ teaspoon onion powder
      • Salt and pepper to taste
      • 2 tablespoons tomato paste
      • ¼ cup water
    • Additional Toppings:

      • 1 cup shredded cheddar or Monterey Jack cheese
      • ⅓ cup diced red onion
      • ¼ cup sliced jalapeños (optional)
      • ½ cup diced tomatoes or salsa
      • ¼ cup sour cream or Greek yogurt
      • ¼ cup chopped fresh cilantro
      • 1 avocado, diced (optional)
      • Lime wedges (for serving)

    👩🏻‍🍳 Instructions

    • Prepare the Potatoes:

      • Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.

      • Toss sliced potatoes with olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.

      • Arrange in a single layer and roast for 25–30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden and crispy.

    • Cook the Beef:

      • In a skillet over medium heat, brown ground beef until fully cooked.

      • Drain excess fat if needed, then stir in chili powder, cumin, paprika, onion powder, tomato paste, and water.

      • Simmer for 5–7 minutes until thickened. Adjust seasoning to taste.

    • Assemble the Nachos:

      • Once potatoes are crispy, top them evenly with seasoned beef and shredded cheese.

      • Return to oven for 5 minutes or until cheese is melted.

    • Add Fresh Toppings:

      • Remove from oven and top with red onions, tomatoes, jalapeños, avocado, and cilantro.

      • Drizzle with sour cream or Greek yogurt and serve with lime wedges.

    Tips & Variations

    • Make it spicy: Add hot sauce or extra jalapeños.
    • Lighter version: Use Greek yogurt instead of sour cream and lean ground turkey.
    • Vegetarian option: Swap beef for black beans or lentil taco “meat.”
    • Extra crispy potatoes? Use an air fryer at 400°F for 15–20 minutes.
