We are huge fan of the individual nachos served in a couple of restaurants in the Dallas area so we decided to try this recipe. It is great but we tweaked it, of course. As we use the following mixture in a few dishes, I decided to use it here. I make my own pinto beans cooked for a day and a half, with whatever flavorings you enjoy adding. Besides a meat (whatever leftover I have stashed in the freezer), I add chili powder, jalapenos and paprika for a little kick. Then place in a blender and blend a couple of containers, add those to the meat mix after it is ready. Allow it to cook down to desired consistency. I always make a large amount of this mixture as we use it on tostatos also. Other than that, I follow the recipe as written and we enjoyed a 5-star winning recipe. Thanks!!!

Awesome! Especially with fresh guacamoli!

I took the advise from some of the reviewers: Put chips in the oven to make them crispier, added taco seasoning and diced onion to the beef. After draining the beef, added the beans to heat them. Topped the chips with the mixture and heated in oven to melt the cheese. Very tasty. Thanks for sharing a simple lunch idea.

Yummy. I added black olives and a big dollop of sour cream. I also added a generous amount of freshly chopped tomates. Thanks :)

These were allright. My hubs and I agree that although decent (what nachos AREN'T good???), these were not the best nachos we've ever had. I think these would be MUCH better if covered with a prepared or homemade cheese sauce rather than melted (shredded) cheese. As is, these would have been too bland for our liking (I made several modifications to this recipe) and were WAY too dry. As many others have done, I too added a packet of (reduced-sodium) taco seasoning to my beef. I just followed the instructions printed on the back of my seasoning packet and then proceeded as directed. I also baked my nachos for 15 minutes at 350 degrees rather than broiling them (5 minutes to warm / "crisp" my chips and 10 minutes to bake). NOTE: It is NOT necessary to pre-heat your beans, especially if you use the reduced-fat variety (these seem to be less firm to begin with, IMHO). Regardless of what variety you use, the beans will melt in the oven! Tomato, green onion, cilantro, shredded lettuce, guacamole and sour cream were nice "toppers." I'll DEFINITELY make these again, but will layer with cheese sauce instead and save the shredded cheese to use as garnish. Thanks for sharing, Charlie! :-)

Easy and very filling! I also added some taco seasoning to the meat, pre-crisped the chips in the oven and then baked in the toaster oven. Make sure you wear gloves if you are dicing up fresh jalapenos....my hands are tingling right now because I forgot!

Great, simple and very easy recipe. I used my own leftover shredded beef and omitted the beans as my family simply don't like them. Added chopped tomatoes and a mixture of cheddar and pepper jack cheese. These were so good, next time I think I will add shredded lettuce and some salsa. Certainly be making these again.

I wouldn't have cared for this recipe had I not put Taco Seasoning in the meat. That addition did put them over the top.

Whole family loved these! I added taco seasoning to meat, used ground turkey instead of beaf and baked them in oven until cheese melted

This was really good. I did use seasoned taco meat instead of plain ground beef. I also used a nacho cheese sauce instead of shredded cheese. Then I also put it on a big cookie sheet, and just baked it in the oven for 5-6 minutes. I was a hit, the whole family loved it.
