Ingredients

  • 1 28 oz. can Bush's Original Baked Beans
  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1 15 oz. can corn, drained
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 3 cups shredded cheddar cheese
  • Corn tortilla chips gluten-free
  • Optional: sour cream salsa, cilantro and chopped tomatoes

Instructions

  • In a frying pan, brown the beef
  • When browned, add corn and beans
  • Meanwhile, spread tortilla chips onto a baking sheet and sprinkle with cheese
  • Spoon bean and beef mixture onto gluten-free corn tortilla chips and cheese
  • Broil everything for 2 minutes (or bake for 15 minutes at 350 degrees)
  • Top with gluten-free sour cream, salsa and fresh tomatoes

Notes

Always check the chips you purchase to make sure they are gluten-free.
I personally like to save the toppings for after they have baked. This gives the nachos a fresh taste and touch. Olives, jalapeños and peppers can be added before the baking though if you prefer. 
You can bake nachos at a lower heat of 350 degrees for 15 minutes or you can broil them for 2 minutes for extra crunch. Either way is great, it really just depends on how quickly you need them. 
Top tip: Squeeze some fresh lime juice on top of your epic beef nachos for extra flavor.
