- 0.5 cup Water
- 2 cups Shredded Cheese Mexican blend or cheddar
- 0.5 cup Red Onion diced

Instructions
Preparation Steps
- Preheat broiler on HIGH and position oven rack 6 inches below the heat source.
- In a large skillet, cook ground beef over medium heat until browned, about 5–6 minutes. Drain excess fat if needed.
- Return pan to heat, add taco seasoning and water. Stir well and simmer for 2 minutes until thickened. Remove from heat.
- On a large rimmed baking sheet (half sheet pan), layer tortilla chips evenly. Spoon seasoned ground beef over chips, then sprinkle with shredded cheese and diced red onion.
- Broil for 1–2 minutes or until cheese is fully melted and bubbly. Keep a close eye to avoid burning.
- Remove from oven and immediately top with diced tomatoes, jalapenos, black olives, cilantro, and a generous drizzle of sour cream.
Notes
For extra toppings, consider adding black beans, guacamole, or sliced avocado just before serving. Serve immediately for best texture!
