Description
Much healthier than regular nachos, this loaded nachos recipe is literally loaded with perfectly seasoned, grass-fed ground beef and topped with all sorts of delicious ingredients, like benefit-packed goat milk cheese, fiber-rich black beans and spicy jalapeños. Each bite is packed with flavor.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 tablespoon chili powder
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- ¼ teaspoon sea salt
- 16 ounce bag organic corn tortilla chips (blue or yellow corn)

- 1 large orange or yellow pepper, diced
- optional toppings: chopped scallions, salsa, goat’s milk yogurt or sour cream
Instructions
- Heat a medium skillet on medium-high heat and add ground beef, chili powder, cumin and salt. Cook until beef is done, stirring frequently, about 10 minutes. Remove from heat.
