Awesome Irish Nachos

Great idea to make nachos with chili rather than refried beans.

Recipe Summary Awesome Irish Nachos

This is a fun version of nachos, using waffle fries instead of tortilla chips. Every year at our annual St. Patrick's Day party, this is the first appetizer to go!

Ingredients | Chili Nachos Recipe

1 (14 ounce) package frozen waffle fries

1 pound ground beef

1 (1 ounce) package taco seasoning

1 (8 ounce) package shredded Mexican cheese blend

1 cup diced tomatoes

½ cup sliced black olives

½ cup sliced jalapeno peppers

3 leaves romaine lettuce, chopped

3 tablespoons sour cream, or to taste

3 tablespoons guacamole, or to taste

Directions

Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C).

Arrange waffle fries in a single layer on a rimmed baking sheet.

Bake in the preheated oven until light golden in color, 12 to 20 minutes.

Meanwhile, cook and stir ground beef in a large skillet until browned and crumbly, 5 to 7 minutes. Drain excess grease. Stir in taco seasoning and cook for 1 to 2 minutes more.

Transfer baked fries to a 9x13-inch baking pan. Spread ground beef evenly over fries. Cover beef with cheese.

Return to the oven until cheese has melted, about 5 minutes.

Remove from the oven and garnish with tomatoes, olives, jalapenos, and lettuce. Dollop sour cream and guacamole on top.

Use 1 cup chopped iceberg lettuce instead of romaine, if preferred.

Use jarred jalapenos if preferred.
