Baked Nachos

Nachos, nachos, nachos . . . this is what is playing in my head more often than I would like to admit.  I love them,  There really isn't much more to say than that.  These are great for game day, movie night, or even as a meal if you want.  I really don't need any excuse at all to make them.

Baked Nachos

• 1lb Ground Turkey or Beef
• 1 1.13oz Packet of Taco Seasoning
• 2 medium to large onions, Chopped or Sliced
• 1 13 oz Bag of Tortilla Chips
• 1 6.5 oz Can of Black Olives, Slices
• 4 Cups Cheese (of your choice), shredded
• 1/2 Cup Cilantro, chopped
• Garlic or Seasoning salt (optional)

\Additional Post-Cooking Toppings:

• Tomatoes
• Green Onions
• Sour Cream Salsa

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees

In a medium sized frying pan, cook the ground meat and onions until browned.  Drain the grease from  the meat.  Add the taco seasoning and olives to the pan and stir to combine.

On a 9x13 baking sheet spread out a layer of tortilla chips.  With a large spoon, sprinkle half of your meat mixture over the  chips, and then top with the shredded cheese.  Repeat that layer, so chips, meat, cheese, one more time.  Sprinkle with a little Garlic or Seasoning Salt if you would like.  Place your pan in the oven and bake for 15 minutes.

Remove your nachos from the oven when the cheese is melted and maybe just a little golden and crispy.  Sprinkle with the cilantro and serve with your favorite toppings and condiments.
