A quick and easy recipe for loaded chili nachos with slow-simmered chili, melted cheese, and crispy tortilla chips, perfect for game day or casual snacks.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb ground beef (or ground turkey for leaner option)
  • 1 small onion, finely chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 can (15 oz) kidney beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1 can (15 oz) diced tomatoes with juices
  • 2 tbsp tomato paste
  • 1 cup beef broth or water
  • 2 tsp chili powder
  • 1 tsp ground cumin
  • 1/2 tsp smoked paprika
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 8 oz tortilla chips
  • 2 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese
  • 1 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 2 green onions, sliced thin
  • 1 medium jalapeño, thinly sliced (optional)
  • 1/4 cup black olives, sliced
  • Fresh cilantro leaves for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Heat 1 tbsp oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add ground beef and cook, breaking it up, until browned and no pink remains (5-7 minutes). Drain excess fat if needed.
  2. Add chopped onion and garlic to the skillet with beef. Cook 3-4 minutes until softened and fragrant but not browned.
  3. Stir in chili powder, cumin, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Toast spices for about 1 minute.
  4. Mix in tomato paste, diced tomatoes with juices, kidney beans, and beef broth. Bring to a gentle simmer.
  5. Reduce heat to low and simmer uncovered for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally until thickened. Add water or broth if too thick.
  6. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  7. On a baking sheet or oven-safe platter, spread half of the tortilla chips evenly.
  8. Top chips with half of the chili, then sprinkle half of each cheese over the chili layer.
  9. Repeat layering with remaining chips, chili, and cheeses.
  10. Bake for 10-12 minutes until cheese is melted and bubbly. Watch closely to avoid burning.
  11. Remove from oven and garnish with sliced jalapeños, black olives, green onions, and cilantro leaves.
  12. Add dollops of sour cream on top or serve on the side.

Notes

Layer cheese between chip layers to prevent sogginess. Drain excess liquid from chili before layering if too watery. Watch oven closely to avoid burning chips. For gluten-free, use almond flour tortilla chips. Sour cream can be swapped with Greek yogurt for a tangier, healthier option. Chili tastes better the next day and freezes well for up to 3 months.
