Gluten Free Nachos Supreme
Nachos are one of those crowd-pleasing dishes that should be simple to pull off, yet store-bought seasoning packets and pre-made toppings are notorious for sneaking in hidden wheat fillers and starchy thickeners. This version keeps everything clean by building the spice blend from scratch — chili powder, cumin, smoked paprika, garlic powder, and onion powder — so you know exactly what's going into every bite. The result is boldly seasoned ground beef layered over crispy corn tortilla chips with black beans, a generous blanket of melted cheddar and Monterey Jack, and fresh jalapeño slices that blister just enough in the oven. Homemade guacamole and a bright pico de gallo made with roma tomatoes, red onion, cilantro, and lime juice take it from bar snack to full-on showstopper. Everything comes together in well under 30 minutes, and the baking sheet feeds four people generously — perfect for game day, movie night, or honestly just a Tuesday. Serve it straight from the oven while the cheese is still bubbling and the chips are at peak crunch.
