Loaded Beef Nachos

1. 1

   For the taco seasoning: In a small bowl, stir together paprika, garlic powder, cumin, onion powder, chili powder, oregano, and salt; set aside.

2. 2

   For the beef mixture: Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat; cook and stir the ground beef in the hot skillet until browned and crumbly, 5 to 7 minutes.

3. 3

   Stir in the onion and green pepper; cook and stir with the oil and juices from the browned meat until much of the liquid has evaporated, about 2 minutes more.

4. 4

   Stir 1/2 can diced tomatoes with chilies and Mexican-style corn into the skillet. Season the beef mixture to taste with the prepared taco seasoning mix.

5. 5

   In a microwave-safe bowl, stir together the remaining 1/2 can diced tomatoes with chilies and the refried beans. Microwave on High, stirring every 30 seconds, until heated through, 1 to 3 minutes.

6. 6

   To assemble the nachos: Arrange half of the tortilla chips in a single layer on a microwave-safe plate; drop teaspoons of the refried beans onto the chips, then add the beef mixture and shredded cheese. Repeat with the remaining chips, beans, beef, and cheese to create a second layer.

7. 7

   Microwave on High until the cheese is melted and the nachos are warm, 2 to 3 minutes. Top with sour cream, salsa, olives, jalapeños, and green onion as desired.
