Ultimate Doritos Loaded Nachos Supreme

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. 1

   Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.

2. 2

   In a large skillet, brown the ground beef over medium-high heat, breaking it apart with a spoon. Drain any excess grease.

3. 3

   Stir in the taco seasoning and 1/2 cup water. Bring to a simmer and cook for 5-7 minutes, or until the liquid has mostly evaporated and the beef is well-coated.

4. 4

   Arrange half of the Nacho Cheese Doritos in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring there's a good coverage without too much overlap.

5. 5

   Sprinkle half of the seasoned ground beef evenly over the Doritos. Follow with half of the Monterey Jack and half of the cheddar cheese.

6. 6

   Carefully add the remaining half of the Doritos over the first layer, trying to cover as much as possible. Then, distribute the remaining ground beef and the rest of both cheeses.

7. 7

   Scatter the pickled jalapeño slices and black olives over the top. If using, add diced red onion and tomato at this stage.

8. 8

   Bake for 8-12 minutes, or until the cheese is completely melted and bubbly, and the Doritos edges are slightly crisped.

9. 9

   Remove from the oven. Dollop sour cream generously over the hot nachos. Sprinkle with fresh cilantro.

10. 10

    Serve immediately with salsa and optional guacamole on the side.

11. 11

    For optimal enjoyment, use a wide spatula to serve, ensuring each portion gets a bit of everything.
