- Today, we're making the best nachos ever.
They should be a staple
at every party, because everyone loves nachos.
We're making our meat and bean mixture first.
We're putting our skillet to medium heat,
and adding a little bit of olive oil.
And our onions.
I'm just letting these cook down a little bit.
Maybe like six minutes or so,
but while they're cooking,
I'm gonna line our baking sheet with foil.
This is a really important step if you don't want to be
scraping burnt pieces of cheese,
off your baking sheet forever.
Makes for a super easy clean up.
Nice press down.
Alright, these are looking good.
I'm just pushing the onions to the side,
so when the meat hits the skillet, it has a chance to brown.
We are going to add our beef now.
Just gonna break it up a little bit with the spoon.
Gonna let it sit undisturbed for a minute or so,
just to let the meat start to caramelize a little bit.
Start mixing the onions and the beef.
And we're just gonna cook this till all the pink is gone.
Which should take about six minutes.
When this is done, we're gonna pour off some of the fat,
and then we'll add our spices and our beans.
If you don't want to use beef,
you can also use ground turkey or ground chicken,
or crumbled tofu if you're a veg.
Not seeing much pink.
So I think it's time to drain the fat.
Get my gloves.
Safety people, simple work.
(soft music)
Let's get rid of some of that fat.
Now we can start seasoning.
I'm gonna turn the heat back on, just to medium.
And we are gonna season with salt,
Don't be shy.
Taco seasoning.
If you can't find taco seasoning at your grocery store,
we actually have a great recipe for taco seasoning
on our website that you can check out.

taco seasoning recipe, and garlic!
(upbeat music)
So this really just needs a minute,
to get those flavors going.
Next ingredient, delicious refried beans.
One of the best things to come out of the Tex-Mex cuisine,
in my opinion.
And we're actually gonna add a little bit of water.
Only like a third of a cup or so.
Just to help combine the two so they become smooth,
and easy to spread on the nachos.
Let the beef get to know the beans, become friendly.
You wanna get some ASMR in here?
Now that our meat and beans are good to go.
We can build our nachos.
I'm gonna take these off the heat.
Let's start building.
So first we're gonna start with our tortilla chips,
obviously the foundation of any good nacho.
And I'm trying to do a really even layer.
Because when you have overlapping chips,
then when you go to grab one and you pull out a naked chip
and it's just the worst, when everyone's
scooping up all the good stuff and you just happen to pull
one out from the bottom that's empty, it's so sad.
So I'll start with our delicious meat and bean mixture.
Like I said, we are trying to avoid the naked chip issue.
So really be thorough about covering all the chips.
So we're doing half of the cheese.
I'll do the beans and last but not least, pickled jalapenos.
Time for layer two.
(cheery music)
I have an over preheating at 425,
and I'm gonna pop these guys in for like 15 minutes.
Just to get the cheese melty.
Good luck in there.
Our nachos are ready, we're gonna take them out.
Oh they look so good!
We'll start with a drizzle of sour creme.
In the Delish Kitchen we like to keep our sour cream,
in a squeeze bottle.
Just makes for a better presentation.
So, I'm adding tomatoes, chopped tomatoes, avocado.
Everyone loves avocado.
Scallions, I'm also gonna add some cilantro in addition.
It makes 'em look even prettier than they already do.
Couple things you could serve on the side, if you'd like:
hot sauce, Tapatio.
And some lime slices just for freshness too if you want.
(gentle music)
I have my beer ready.
Alright.
Mm.
This is the life.
