In a large skillet over medium-high heat, cook the ground beef until browned, about 6-8 minutes, breaking it up with a wooden spoon as it cooks.

Add the diced onion to the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes, until softened.

Sprinkle the shredded cheddar and pepper jack cheeses over the beef and chips, covering them generously.

Once out of the oven, top the nachos with diced tomatoes and sliced green onions.
