These Halloween Nachos feature homemade tortilla chips cut into spooky shapes, layered with seasoned beef, beans, cheese, and fresh toppings. They're baked until bubbly and perfect for a festive gathering. Customize with your favorite fixings like salsa and sour cream.

Directions

Using Halloween-themed cookie cutters, cut shapes out of the corn and flour tortillas. Ensure you have enough for three layers on a baking sheet. Heat oil to 350°F. Fry the tortilla shapes until they are golden and crispy, about 2 minutes, flipping halfway for even browning. Transfer to a paper towel-lined tray to drain and sprinkle with salt right away. Also cook the leftover scraps; overcrowding the fryer is fine for those.

Line the bottom of a rimmed baking sheet with the fried tortilla chips. This first layer is perfect for using up the cooked scraps.

Spread one third of the taco beef, beans, green onions, jalapeño slices, cilantro, salsa, and cheese over the chips. Repeat the layers, using scraps and some of the Halloween-shaped chips. For the top layer, arrange all the Halloween-shaped chips creatively, placing them over the toppings and around the edges for a festive look.

Bake at 350°F for 15 minutes. Serve with additional salsa, sour cream, tomato, lettuce, or taco sauce as desired.
