Directions
- Preheat oven to 400°F. Lightly spray a large rimmed baking sheet with non-stick spray or line with foil for easy cleanup.
- Brown ground beef in a large skillet over medium heat. Drain excess fat, then stir in New Canaan Farms Taco Seasoning and water. Simmer for about 3 minutes, until the mixture thickens and the flavors come together.
- Spread half of the tortilla chips onto the prepared baking sheet. Top with half of the seasoned beef and half of the shredded cheese. Add the remaining chips, beef, and cheese to create a second layer.
- Bake for 5–8 minutes, or until the cheese is fully melted and bubbly. For an extra golden finish, broil for 1–2 minutes, watching carefully.
- Remove from the oven and immediately top with diced tomatoes, red onion, black olives, fresh cilantro, and New Canaan Farms Sweet & Hot Jalapeños. Serve warm with sour cream and your favorite New Canaan Farms Salsa.
