Chipotle Sauce
Instructions
-
Cook the Beef
In a large pan over medium heat, cook the ground beef until it begins to brown.
Add the taco seasoning (or homemade spice mix) along with a splash of water. Stir well and continue cooking until the beef is fully browned and coated in the seasoning. Set aside.
-
Make the Cheese Sauce
In a separate pan, melt the butter over medium heat. Whisk in the flour and cook for about 1 minute to remove the raw flour taste.
-
Slowly add the milk while whisking continuously to prevent lumps. Let the mixture simmer for 4–5 minutes, or until thickened.
-
Remove from heat and stir in the shredded cheddar cheese, chopped jalapeños, jalapeño juice, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and bacon. Mix until smooth and creamy.
-
Combine Beef & Sauce
Add about one-third of the cheese sauce to the cooked beef. Stir to combine, adding a small splash of water if needed to loosen the mixture.
This step makes the beef extra saucy and flavorful.
-
Assemble the Nachos
n an oven-safe dish, layer:
- Doritos
- Beef mixture
- Remaining cheese sauce
- Shredded Mexican-style cheese
Bake for 10–15 minutes, or until everything is melted and heated through.
-
Make the Chipotle Sauce
In a blender or food processor, combine mayo, sour cream, chipotle in adobo, lime juice, salt, and pepper.
Blend until smooth and creamy.
-
Finish & Serve
Remove nachos from the oven and load them up with your favorite toppings: lettuce, tomatoes, red onion, fresh jalapeños, sour cream, and chipotle sauce.
Serve immediately while hot and melty.
