- 1 (10-ounce) can diced tomatoes and green chilies
- 8 ounces processed cheese, cubed
- 1 tablespoon chili powder
- 1 bag tortilla chips
- 2 cups shredded lettuce
- 1 cup diced tomatoes

Instructions

1. Begin by Preparing the Ground Beef:
In a large skillet, heat over medium. Add 1 pound of ground beef and cook until fully browned, about PT7M or 7 minutes. Stir occasionally and break the beef into crumbles using a spatula. Drain excess fat.

Add the drained can of chili beans and the can of diced tomatoes with green chilies into the skillet. Mix well to combine with the beef. Set your stove to medium-low heat.

3. Melt the Cheese:
Add the cubed processed cheese to the mixture. Sprinkle with 1 tablespoon of chili powder. Stir continuously until the cheese has completely melted and the mixture is smooth, approximately PT5M or 5 minutes.

4. Assemble the Nachos:
On a large serving platter or individual plates, arrange a generous layer of tortilla chips. Pour the hot chili cheese mixture evenly over the chips.

5. Add Fresh Toppings:
Top the nachos with 2 cups of shredded lettuce and 1 cup of diced tomatoes for added freshness and color.

6. Serve Promptly:
Enjoy this delicious, communal dish immediately while the nachos are warm and the cheese is gooey.
