Preparation
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 350˚F. In a large skillet on medium heat brown your beef, when there is no pink add 4 Tbsp taco seasoning and 1/2 cup water, and cook for an additional 3-5 min, stirring occasionally.
Step 2
Tear off four 16" long pieces of Aluminum Foil. Place a handful of tortilla chips in the center of the sheet, top with a heaping 1/4 cup Mexican cheese, then cover with 1/4 of the ground beef mixture followed by another 1/4 cup of cheese. Bring up and double-fold the long ends, leaving room for air to circulate. Bring up and double-fold the short ends to close your foil packet.
Step 3
Just before serving, place on a baking sheet and bake at 350˚F for 10 minutes. Prep all of your toppings so they are ready to serve over hot nachos. Open the foil packs, add desired toppings and serve immediately.

Chef's notes
Baking your nachos in foil packs is brilliant because the beef stays tender, juicy, and cheesy, while the edges of the chips crisp up in the oven.
Use heavy-duty foil for the best results and easy cleanup.
These nachos are great with ground turkey or chicken as a substitute for beef.
