1 tablespoon chili powder

For the Spicy Nacho Cheese Sauce:

2 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese

For the Toppings:

1/2 cup sliced jalapeños
1/2 cup sour cream
1/2 cup guacamole
1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
1/4 cup sliced green onions
Instructions
Make the Tortilla Chips: Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C). Cut the corn tortillas into triangles and fry them in batches until they are golden brown and crispy, about 2-3 minutes per side. Sprinkle with salt while still hot.
Prepare the Beef Mixture: In a large skillet over medium heat, add the diced onion and minced garlic. Sauté until the onion is translucent. Add the ground beef, breaking it apart as it cooks. Cook until browned, approximately 5-7 minutes. Drain any excess fat.
Season the Beef: Stir in chili powder, cumin, paprika, and season with salt and pepper to taste. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until fragrant.
Prepare the Spicy Nacho Cheese Sauce: In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Whisk in the flour and cook for about 1 minute. Gradually add the milk, whisking continuously until the mixture thickens. Stir in the shredded cheese, hot sauce, and garlic powder until fully melted.
Assemble the Nachos: Layer the tortilla chips on a large platter, evenly distribute the beef mixture over the chips, and drizzle with the cheese sauce. Top with diced tomatoes, sliced jalapeños, sour cream, guacamole, cilantro, and green onions.
Serve: Enjoy your Epic Beef Nacho Supreme meal with friends and family!
