Who doesn't love crispy, crunchy, gooey nachos? It's no wonder nachos are a favorite game-day snack. Add extra jalapenos, chopped cilantro, or a drizzle of fresh lime juice to brighten things up, if desired. In Texas, classic nachos are toasty tortilla chips topped with refried beans, melted cheddar, Monterey Jack, or pepper Jack cheese, and fresh or pickled jalapeño slices. This recipe, loaded with a savory ground beef mix, is an even heartier spin that is guaranteed to please eager football fans and hungry ranch hands alike.
