Nachos!

Tonight I made nachos! They were really simple to make and only took about 15 minutes total. I also made guacamole. On a side note, tacos are also one of the cheapest & easiest meals to make at college. I wish I had a better picture. I took this one from my phone.

Ingredients

-1/2 pound ground beef
-1 taco seasoning packet (use half)
-Approx. 1 1/2 cup shredded Mexican cheese
-2 avocados
-guacamole seasoning packet
-lime or lemon juice
-1 jalapeno pepper
-Corn chips

Directions:
I first browned the beef & followed the directions on the taco seasoning packet. While the beef was cooking I made the guacamole. I scooped the avocados out of their peels and mashed in a bowl with a fork. Then I added most, but not all of the seasoning. I find the entire packet can be too salty. A guacamole seasoning packet can usually be found next to the avocados or in the vegetable section of a grocery store. Homemade guacamole is definitely on my list of recipes to learn! Anyway, after adding the seasoning squeeze the juice of a lemon or lime on to the avocados. The acid will keep the avocados from turning brown. Next, I sliced the jalapeno down the middle and took all of the seeds out before I chopped it up. 

I used a disposable aluminum tin and filled it with chips. Then I pour the season beef along the top followed by a generous amount of shredded cheese and the jalapenos. I let the tray bake in a 350 degree oven for 10 minutes. After, I spooned my guacamole and jarred salsa on top. Voila!
