Steps:
- To make the chipotle taco meat, in a large skillet, heat the oil over medium-low heat. Add the beef and onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until the beef is lightly browned and the onion is translucent, about 10 minutes. Add the gar lic and cook for 30 seconds more. Add the tomato, chili powder, cumin, oreg ano, cayenne, and chipotle chile. Stir until the spices are well distributed, turn down the heat, and simmer for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally. Stir in the masa harina until well combined, then taste and adjust the seasonings. Add salt and black pepper to taste. Stir in the lime juice and remove from the heat.
- To make the guacamole, mash the avocado until smooth. Stir in the jalapeno, cilantro, garlic, cumin, and lime juice. Adjust seasonings and add salt to taste.
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
- To make the nachos, pour 1/2 inch of oil into a heavy skillet and heat to 350 degrees F. If you don't have a candy thermometer, after 5 minutes of heating, you can stick a wooden spoon into the oil to see if it's ready. If the oil bubbles around the spoon, it should be hot enough. In batches, fry the tortillas for 1 minute, until golden brown, turning once. Drain on a paper towel and sprinkle lightly with salt.
- Place the chips close together but not overlapping on a baking sheet or cast-iron skillet, and top each with 1 teaspoon refried beans, 2 tablespoons chipotle taco meat, and 2 tablespoons cheddar cheese.
- Bake for 5 minutes, or until the cheese is melted. After removing the nachos from the oven, top each with 1 tablespoon guacamole, 1 tablespoon sour cream, and 1 pickled jalapeno slice. Serve warm, with salsa on the side.

COPYCAT TRIPLE LAYER NACHOS
Last week at work there was some chatter about how it had been a year since Taco Bell® took the Triple Layer Nachos off their menu and how they were missed. I set out on a mission and this is what I came up with. Note: the restaurant chain sells their own line of refried beans, queso, and sauce so that makes it all the more easy to recreate this at home. This will dirty 4 pans but it is so worth it!

Tips:
- To make the ultimate Trick-or-Treat Nachos, start with a crunchy tortilla chip base and pile on your favorite toppings. Classic nacho toppings like cheese, sour cream, and salsa are always a hit, but feel free to get creative with your toppings. Some fun and festive ideas include candy corn, mini chocolate bars, and even gummy worms.
- Don't be afraid to experiment with different types of chips. Tortilla chips are the classic nacho base, but you can also use potato chips, pita chips, or even bagel chips. Just make sure the chips are sturdy enough to hold up to the weight of your toppings.
- Use a variety of cheeses to create a gooey, flavorful nacho experience. Cheddar cheese is a classic choice, but you can also add mozzarella, pepper jack, or even blue cheese. If you're feeling adventurous, try a combination of different cheeses.
- Load up on your favorite toppings. The more toppings, the better! Some popular nacho toppings include salsa, sour cream, guacamole, Pico de gallo, and jalapeños. You can also add cooked ground beef, chicken, or beans. And don't forget the cheese!
- Broil the nachos until the cheese is melted and bubbly. This will help to hold all of the toppings in place and create a delicious, gooey mess.
Conclusion:
Trick-or-Treat Nachos are the perfect party food for Halloween. They're easy to make, delicious, and fun for kids and adults alike. So gather your favorite toppings and get ready to enjoy a spooky and delicious Halloween feast!
