# Ingredients:

→ Main Ingredients

01 - 1 pound ground beef
02 - 1/2 yellow onion, diced
03 - 2 (16-ounce) bags tortilla chips
04 - 1 (16-ounce) can refried beans
05 - 16 ounces shredded cheese (cheddar and Monterey jack)
06 - 3 roma tomatoes, diced
07 - 2 to 3 green onions, sliced

→ Seasoning

08 - 1 packet (or serving) taco seasoning

# Instructions:

01 - Preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
02 - Brown the ground beef and diced onions over medium-high heat until fully cooked, about 8 minutes. Drain any excess grease.
03 - Return the cooked beef to the pan, sprinkle on the taco seasoning, stir in 3/4 cup water, bring it to a simmer, reduce heat, and simmer until the liquid mostly evaporates, about 5 minutes.
04 - Line two baking sheets with parchment paper and add a generous layer of tortilla chips to each.
05 - Spoon half the refried beans onto each tray of chips. Spread evenly as the beans soften from the heat of the oven.
06 - Spoon half the seasoned ground beef onto each tray of chips.
07 - Sprinkle shredded cheese over the top of each tray.
08 - Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes at 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
09 - Remove the trays from the oven and sprinkle diced tomatoes and sliced green onions over the top.
10 - Serve immediately while hot.

# Notes:

01 - Use thick, sturdy tortilla chips like Costco's Kirkland brand to prevent breaking.
02 - This recipe is ideal for entertaining larger groups. For smaller gatherings, halve the ingredient amounts.
