Description

These Foil-Pack Baked Nachos are an easy, fun, and mess-free way to enjoy cheesy nachos loaded with seasoned ground beef, melty cheese, and your favorite toppings — perfect for camping or a quick weeknight snack.


Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 8 oz tortilla chips
  • 1/2 pound (225g) ground beef
  • 1 tablespoon taco seasoning
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar or Mexican blend cheese
  • 1/2 cup black beans, drained and rinsed (optional)
  • 1/4 cup sliced black olives (optional)
  • 1/4 cup diced red onion
  • 1 jalapeño, sliced (optional)
  • Foil sheets, for wrapping
  • Toppings: diced tomatoes, sour cream, guacamole, chopped cilantro, salsa

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven or grill to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a skillet over medium heat, cook ground beef until browned. Drain excess fat and stir in taco seasoning. Set aside.
  3. Lay out 4 large sheets of aluminum foil. Place a handful of tortilla chips in the center of each sheet.
  4. Top chips with cooked ground beef, cheese, black beans, olives, onions, and jalapeños as desired.
  5. Fold up sides of foil to make a packet, sealing tightly but leaving space for air circulation.
  6. Bake or grill for 10–12 minutes, or until cheese is melted and toppings are heated through.
  7. Carefully open packets, add your favorite toppings, and serve immediately.

Notes

  • Substitute ground chicken or turkey for beef if you like.
  • Great for camping — just place packets on hot coals for about 8–10 minutes.
  • Let everyone customize their own foil pack with their favorite toppings.
