Ingredients

Main Ingredients

  • Tortilla Chips – sturdy, thick enough to hold toppings (about 8-10 cups)
  • Ground Beef or Turkey – 1 pound
  • Refried Beans – 1 cup
  • Shredded Cheese Blend (Cheddar and Monterey Jack) – 2 cups
  • Diced Tomatoes – 1 cup
  • Sliced Jalapeños – 1/4 cup (adjust to taste)
  • Chopped Green Onions – 1/4 cup
  • Sour Cream – 1/2 cup (for serving)
  • Guacamole – 1/2 cup (for serving)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Meat Mixture: Start by browning your ground beef or turkey in a skillet over medium heat. Season with taco spices such as cumin, chili powder, garlic powder, and salt to infuse authentic flavor. Drain any excess fat and keep the meat warm for layering.
  2. Layer the Refried Beans: Warm the refried beans slightly to make spreading easier. Spread a thin, even layer of refried beans around the bottom of the bundt pan to create a sticky base that holds the chips and toppings in place.
  3. Arrange the Tortilla Chips: Place tortilla chips vertically around and inside the bundt pan, weaving some through the refried beans layer so they stand upright and form a ring shape perfect for sharing.
  4. Add Cheese and Meat Layers: Sprinkle a generous amount of shredded cheese over the chips, then evenly add the cooked meat around the pan. For extra heartiness, repeat with another layer of chips, cheese, and meat if desired.
  5. Bake Until Melty and Bubbling: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Place the assembled bundt pan in the oven and bake for 10 to 15 minutes, or until the cheese is fully melted and the dish is heated through, achieving a bubbly, gooey texture.
  6. Top with Fresh Ingredients: Remove from the oven and garnish with diced tomatoes, sliced jalapeños, and chopped green onions for fresh, crisp contrasts. Serve immediately with sides like sour cream and guacamole for dipping.

Notes

  • Use fresh, crunchy tortilla chips to avoid sogginess.
  • Alternate between wet and dry ingredients when layering to maintain chip crispness.
  • Warm refried beans before spreading to help them meld well with chips.
  • Don’t overload toppings to keep the bundt pan stable when serving.
  • Allow the nachos to cool slightly after baking for cleaner portions and better flavor meld.
