These Halloween nachos start with a rich chili made from ground beef, beans, and a kick of chipotle and cocoa. Simmer it all afternoon, then pile it onto chips with cheese, guacamole, salsa, and spicy toppings for a ghoulishly good treat.
Ingredients
Directions
- Cook the ground beef in a pan until browned, along with chopped onion and minced garlic.
- Stir in the kidney and pinto beans, tomato sauce, diced tomatoes, ground chipotle flakes, chili powder, cumin, unsweetened baking cocoa, salt, and pepper. Let it all simmer on low heat for a few hours, ideally all afternoon.
- Arrange a layer of tortilla chips on a platter. Spoon the chili over the chips, then top with pepper jack cheese, guacamole, salsa, sour cream, sliced green onions, jalapeño slices, diced fresh tomatoes, and a drizzle of Marie Sharp's Habanero Sauce. Pile it high and load them up!
