Instructions
- In a sauté pan, heat oil and add spices to both sides of the ground beef.
- Once the oil is hot, place the seasoned ground beef in a pan. Use a wooden spoon to break up the ground beef.
- Let it cook for 5 minutes and add the black beans.
- Cook for another 2-3 minutes, until the ground beef is fully cooked.
- Place a sieve over a bowl, and strain the ground beef mixture into the sieve to remove the fatty liquid.
- Add Pico de Gallo ingredients to a bowl and mix together.
Nacho Cheese Sauce:
- To a saucepan, add in the butter and flour, and cook on medium heat. Mix them together until the butter is completely melted.
- Add in the heavy cream and cheese, and let cook, mixing periodically, until the cheese is completely melted and smooth.
- Turn the mixture off of the flame, add in the roasted red peppers, and mix them into the nacho cheese.
California Avocado Simple Game Guacamole:
- Add all ingredients to a bowl, and mix together. With a fork, press down on the avocado to lightly mash them into the mixture.
Nachos:
- To build the nachos, first place the corn chips on the bottom of the plate.
- Distribute the nacho cheese, ground beef mixture, Pico de Gallo, guacamole, and toppings evenly over the corn chips.
- For an even more decadent nacho plate, add another layer of Doritos again, and another layer of the toppings.
* Large avocados are recommended for this recipe. A large avocado averages about 8 ounces. If using smaller or larger size avocados adjust the quantity accordingly.
