Ingredients

  • 4 cups Tortilla chips
  • 1 cup Shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 cup Cooked ground beef (seasoned with taco seasoning)
  • 1 cup Refried beans
  • 0.5 cup Sour cream
  • 0.5 cup Diced tomatoes
  • 0.25 cup Sliced black olives
  • 0.25 cup Sliced jalapeños
  • 2 tablespoons Chopped fresh cilantro
  • 0.5 cup Guacamole

Directions

Step 1

1. Prepare all ingredients ahead of time: warm the refried beans and ground beef, chop the tomatoes and cilantro, and gather all toppings.

Step 2

2. Place four individual serving cups on your workspace. These can be plastic, paper, or glass cups, depending on your preference.

Step 3

3. Start by adding a small layer of tortilla chips (about 1/4 cup per cup) to the bottom of each serving cup.

Step 4

4. Add a spoonful of refried beans and a spoonful of seasoned ground beef on top of the chips in each cup.

Step 5

5. Sprinkle a little shredded cheddar cheese over the beef and beans. The heat from the warm ingredients will slightly melt the cheese.

Step 6

6. Add another layer of tortilla chips (another 1/4 cup) on top of the cheese in each cup.

Step 7

7. Continue layering with a second spoonful each of beans and beef, followed by more cheese.

Step 8

8. Top each cup with your desired toppings: a dollop of sour cream, diced tomatoes, sliced black olives, sliced jalapeños, a scoop of guacamole, and a sprinkle of chopped cilantro.

Step 9

9. Serve immediately with a spoon or fork for easy scooping, and enjoy your personalized nachos in a cup!
