A messy, piled-high nacho board perfect for game day. Layers of crispy tortilla chips, seasoned ground beef, refried beans, melted cheese, and fresh toppings create a shareable, one-bite snack that keeps everyone gathered around the TV.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 large bag (13–16 oz) restaurant-style tortilla chips (e.g., Tostitos Scoops)
  • 1 can (15 oz) refried beans, warmed
  • 2 cups shredded Mexican blend cheese
  • 1 cup shredded pepper jack cheese
  • 1 lb ground beef (80/20)
  • 1 packet taco seasoning
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 1 can (4 oz) diced green chiles, drained
  • 1/2 cup pickled jalapeños, drained
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1 cup guacamole
  • 1 cup pico de gallo or fresh salsa
  • 1/2 cup sliced black olives
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
  • 1/4 cup sliced green onions
  • 1–2 fresh jalapeños, thinly sliced (optional)
  • 1 cup cooked black beans or pinto beans (optional)
  • 1/2 cup corn kernels (optional)
  • 1/4 cup cotija cheese, crumbled (optional)
  • Lime wedges for squeezing (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Cook the ground beef: Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add ground beef and cook for 6-8 minutes until browned. Drain excess grease. Add taco seasoning and 1/2 cup water. Simmer for 2-3 minutes until thickened. Set aside.
  3. Warm the refried beans in a small saucepan over low heat, stirring occasionally. Add a tablespoon of water if too thick.
  4. Line a large cutting board or baking sheet with parchment paper (optional). Spread a thin layer of refried beans in a large oval shape on the board.
  5. Arrange a generous layer of tortilla chips over the beans, pressing down slightly. Use about half the bag.
  6. Sprinkle half the seasoned ground beef over the chips. Scatter half the Mexican blend cheese and half the pepper jack cheese. Add diced green chiles and pickled jalapeños evenly.
  7. Repeat layers: add remaining chips, ground beef, and cheeses.
  8. Bake the board (if oven-safe) for 10-12 minutes until cheese is melted and bubbly. If board is not oven-safe, use a baking sheet and transfer after baking.
  9. Remove from oven and let cool for 2-3 minutes. Dollop sour cream, guacamole, and pico de gallo in separate sections. Sprinkle with black olives, cilantro, green onions, and fresh jalapeño slices.
  10. Serve immediately with extra chips on the side.

Notes

For extra gooey cheese, broil the board for the last 2 minutes of baking. Always add cold toppings after baking to avoid watery results. If using a wooden board that isn’t oven-safe, assemble on a baking sheet, bake, then slide onto the board for serving. Leftovers can be refrigerated for up to 2 days and reheated in a 350°F oven for 5-7 minutes.
