Not Your Ordinary Beef Nachos
We’re talking game night, chill night, and all of the above, Sis — nachos to the next level with this one! Why be basic when you can be different? This isn’t your classic beef nachos recipe, but it’s still giving everything you need. It’s a little spicy, a little tangy, and a healthier alternative to your traditional nacho situation. Now, I’m not trying to clown the classic — we all love us a classic recipe, right?! I mean, that’s the benchmark. But I like mixing things up a bit over here. So umm, shall we? Hmmmmm, I think we shall LOL!
Aight, so since your girl is on her wellness reset journey, I wanted a recipe that’s easy, quick, but still hits all the flavor notes. I used 85/15 ground beef so it’s lean enough but still juicy, because ain’t nobody want no dried‑up meat! Oh, and extra bonus — you don’t have to skim off the fat either. Yeah, I told you I got you with this one 😉. I’ll be honest, nachos were never a thing growing up except for that horrible memory of a sad excuse for nachos at school lunch (child, don’t let me even get started). But when I was looking through some game‑day, quick recipes, I noticed nachos were a big hit. And I’ll be real — I loved me some nachos at Buffalo Wild Wings ’til they started messing up the recipe and going with chicken.
Every time I’d do my little foodie scroll on Instagram, I’d see those cheese‑pull nachos and be like, “Yeah, I gotta make my own — but healthier.” So this ain’t got the cheese sauce you might be used to (I got another recipe coming for that), but it still gives you that cheesy mouthful you love.
Personally, my wellness routine has taken a high‑protein turn lately — and this recipe fits right into that vibe. It’s packed with protein and healthy fats that keep you full longer and help tame those annoying hunger pangs. It takes about 5 minutes to prep your ingredients and a total of 15 minutes to cook this recipe up. After all that, you can finally get to the best part — the layering (besides eating, of course). I used Blue Tortilla Chips from Target, but you’re welcome to use whatever chips you like. A good replacement is the purple tortilla chips with flaxseeds — talk about a “superfood.”
I have to admit something: I love soggy chips, but I understand that might not be for everybody. Let me just say, you’re missing out. There’s just something about the meat, sauces, and cheese soaking into the chip that does it for me. But to prevent that from happening, I’ll give you a little tip down below. Whether you’re a busy mom, a businesswoman, a sports fanatic, or just want something simple, delicious, and quick to eat on your downtime, this recipe is perfect for you and will be your dinner cheat code for the weekend
Easy Swaps and Add-Ins
Why would you want any, huh, huh LOL kidding. I got you Sis, always!
Swaps
Swap blue tortilla chips: Use purple tortilla chips with flaxseed for extra nutrition or any baked tortilla chips
Swap coconut sugar: For (preferably dark) agave, maple syrup or brown sugar, these will give you a similar nutritional value and taste
Swap burger seasoning: Use kosher salt or iodine salt, black pepper, chili pepper, onion powder and smoking liquid (just 1/4 tsp)
Common Questions:
-
OKKKKKKK, I didn’t forget well I kind of did HEHE but were here now.. So umm how you doing? Ok Ok no fun!
***Start by warming the chips in the oven for a few minutes (350F) so they stay crisp, then add your cheese first so it melts and creates a little barrier before the meat and toppings go on.***
