  • 1/2 teaspoon Ground Cayenne Pepper
  • 1 teaspoon Hot Sauce
  • 1 tablespoon Butter

  • 1 Avocado Peeled, pitted, and chopped
  • 1 jalapeños Jalapeño Diced

Instructions
 

  • In a large skillet, cook ground beef with the spices and hot sauce, breaking the meat up so it doesn’t form large chunks. Once cooked, set aside.
  • In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt 1 Tablespoon butter for the cheese sauce.
  • Whisk in the flour and cook until it begins to brown and bubble, approximately 1 minutes.
  • Whisk in milk and cook until thickened, approximately 2 to 3 minutes.
  • Finally, stir in 1 1/4 cups shredded cheddar cheese until melted. Keep warm on low heat.
  • Make a single layer of tortilla chips on a rimmed baking sheet.
  • Dot the refried beans throughout the chips.
  • Add a layer of 3/4 of the meat, then top with the Monterrey jack and cheddar cheese for the nachos.
  • Broil under High heat until the cheese is melted.
  • Add a final layer of the meat and top with cheese sauce.
  • Finally, top with all your favorite toppings - cilantro, green onion, sour cream, chopped avocado, salsa, hot sauce and jalapeños.
  • Serve immediately.
