Ingredients:

  • 907g (2 lbs) 80/20 ground beef
  • 1 small yellow onion, finely diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 3 tbsp homemade taco seasoning
  • 60ml (1/4 cup) beef broth
  • 120ml (1/2 cup) chunky salsa
  • 8 individual-sized bags (28g/1 oz each) corn chips or nacho cheese chips
  • 2 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese
  • 2 cups iceberg lettuce, shredded
  • 1 cup Roma tomatoes, seeded and diced
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1/4 cup pickled jalapeños
  • 2 tbsp fresh cilantro, chopped

Instructions:

  1. Place your heavy skillet over medium high heat. Add the 907g of ground beef and the finely diced yellow onion.
  2. Use a sturdy wooden spoon to break the beef into small, uniform crumbles as it browns. Cook for 7 to 9 minutes until the meat is fully browned and the onions are translucent.
  3. Transfer the beef and onion mixture to a fine mesh colander. Drain thoroughly to remove the excess grease. Note: This is the most important step for preventing soggy chips later on.
  4. Return the drained beef to the skillet and lower the heat to medium. You should hear a gentle sizzle rather than a violent pop.
  5. Stir in the 2 cloves of minced garlic, 3 tbsp of taco seasoning, 120ml of chunky salsa, and 60ml of beef broth.
  6. Simmer the mixture for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Watch for the liquid to reduce by about 75% until it forms a thick, clinging sauce.
  7. While the meat simmers, take each 28g bag of chips and gently crush them two or three times to break up the larger pieces.
  8. Use your kitchen scissors to cut the bags open along the long side. Fold the top edges down about an inch to create a stable, wide mouthed bowl.
  9. Spoon a generous portion of the savory beef mixture directly onto the chips. The aroma of the toasted corn and spiced beef should be immediate.
  10. Layer your toppings starting with the shredded cheddar so it melts, followed by the lettuce, tomatoes, sour cream, jalapeños, and cilantro.
