Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • ½ pound lean ground beef
  • ½ cup diced yellow onion
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper
  • ¼ cup water
  • 2 tablespoons taco seasoning
  • 8 ounces block of Colby jack cheese, shredded
  • 12 ounces bag of Tostitos brand tortilla chips (use about ⅔ of the bag)

Optional Garnish

  • Sour cream
  • Diced tomatoes
  • Chopped fresh cilantro

Instructions

  1. Preheat and prepare pan: Preheat your oven to 450°F (232°C). Spray a 12-cup capacity Bundt pan generously with cooking spray to prevent sticking and set aside.
  2. Cook the beef mixture: In a large skillet over medium-high heat, add the ground beef, diced yellow onion, salt, and black pepper. Cook for 6-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the beef is browned and no pink remains. Drain excess fat carefully.
  3. Season the beef: Return the skillet to medium heat. Stir in the water and taco seasoning, coating the meat evenly. Continue cooking for 2-3 minutes until most of the liquid evaporates. Remove from heat.
  4. Assemble first layer: Place half of the shredded Colby jack cheese evenly on the bottom of the prepared Bundt pan. Add half of the cooked beef mixture on top of the cheese, followed by approximately one-third of the tortilla chips, distributing them evenly without pressing them down.
  5. Add second layer: Repeat layering with the remaining shredded cheese, the remaining beef mixture, and another one-third of the tortilla chips. Avoid overfilling; the layers should be even and loosely set.
  6. Bake the nachos: Place the assembled Bundt pan in the oven and bake for 10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and everything is heated through.
  7. Invert and serve: Remove the Bundt pan from the oven. Place a heatproof plate larger than the Bundt pan inverted over the top. Carefully flip the pan over so the nachos transfer onto the plate. Gently lift the Bundt pan off. If any cheese sticks to the pan, carefully place it back on top of the nachos.
  8. Add toppings and enjoy: Serve the Bundt pan nachos immediately as is, or garnish with optional toppings such as sour cream, diced tomatoes, and chopped fresh cilantro.

Notes

  • These nachos are best served hot and fresh; avoid refrigerating or freezing the assembled nachos as chips will become soggy.
  • You may prepare the seasoned ground beef up to two days in advance and refrigerate it. Reheat gently in a skillet over medium heat before assembling.
  • Use about two-thirds of a standard 12-ounce bag of tortilla chips to prevent overfilling the Bundt pan.
  • Do not pack the ingredients tightly in the Bundt pan to ensure even heating and melting.
  • If cheese sticks to the pan during flipping, simply place it back on top of the nachos.
