How to cook deliciously - Loaded Nachos

1. Stage

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Grease a baking sheet with cooking spray.

2. Stage

Arrange a layer of tortilla chips on the tray. Sprinkle 1/2 of the cooked beef in a layer over the chips (don't drown the chips!) then layer with 1/3 of the beans, 1/3 of the jalapeno peppers, 1/3 of the pico de gallo, and 1/2 of the Cheddar cheese; drizzle 1/3 of the queso blanco over top. Repeat layers once more, starting with chips and ending with queso blanco. Cover with aluminum foil.

3. Stage

Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for 5 more minutes.

4. Stage

Remove from the oven and transfer nachos to a platter. Top with shredded lettuce and remaining beans, jalapeno peppers, and pico de gallo.

5. Stage

Stir sour cream with just enough water to thin slightly; drizzle over the nachos. Drizzle remaining queso blanco over top and sprinkle with scallions. Arrange remaining chips around the edges of the platter.
