Jalapeno Jack Nachos

Serves 6

These nachos can be served as a meal, but all the good stuff makes for a great appetizer or snack while entertaining, watching a game or a quick lunch for your family and friends. Better plan on making two plates of these, they’re really good! Serve with sour cream, salsa, and guacamole.

Ingredients:
1 pound ground beef
1 onion, finely diced
Salt and pepper to taste
2 cups shredded Franco`s Jalapeno Jack cheese
1 (16 ounce) can refried beans
1 (14.5 ounce) package tortilla chips
1 fresh jalapeno pepper, sliced (optional)

Directions:
1. In a large frying pan, brown ground beef with onion, salt and pepper over medium heat. Break the meat into very small pieces while it is cooking. After the meat is thoroughly cooked, drain off the grease.
2. Arrange chips on a microwavable platter. Spread beans over the chips. Layer with 1/2 of the Franco`s Jalapeno Jack cheese, the ground beef mixture, and remaining cheese. Arrange jalapeno peppers on top (optional).
3. Microwave on medium-high until cheese has melted. Serve immediately and enjoy!
