Ingredients

  • 30 tortilla scoops (or chips of choice)
  • 1/2 cup ground beef (cooked with taco seasoning, about 1/4lb)
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheddar (or mozzarella)
  • jalapeño (sliced, as desired)
  • green onions (sliced, as desired)
  • 1/2 avocado (cubed)
  • cilantro (roughly chopped)
  • 1/4 cup salsa
  • 1/4 cup sour cream

Instructions

  1. 1

    Arrange your chips in a single layer on a microwavable plate. Add a bit of ground beef to each chip then top with a generous amount of cheese. Add one slice of jalapeño and a pinch of sliced green onions to each chip.

  2. 2

    Microwave (1-2 minutes, depending on microwave) until cheese is melty, but not over cooked and crispy. You want the cheese to be still stringy. I start with 1 minute and then do 30 second intervals until it’s melted to my liking.

  3. 3

    Top each chip with a cube of avocado, a sprinkle of cilantro, and a dab each of sour cream and salsa. Enjoy!
