Nachos (Ground Beef #3)

There was a half pound of ground beef left over from making pizza. We used it to make nachos, even though it's not really nacho season.

Brown the ground beef. Add a half an onion, finely chopped and a few cloves of garlic minced. Season as you would for tacos. I used Chile Pepper, Ancho Chili Pepper, and Chipotle. Since I used Chile Pepper not Chili Powder, I also added a bunch of cumin and some oregano. As always, I added a touch of cinnamon and cocoa powder for a bit of depth. Salt to taste.

Arrange some corn chips on a plate. Top with as much grated cheddar cheese as you like. Microwave to melt the cheese, then top with the ground beef. Add whatever fixings you enjoy. This time we used:

• Habanero and Lime Salsa
• Diced tomato
• Shredded lettuce
• Green Onion (thinly sliced)
• Black olives
• Sour Cream
  

In the past we've also added:

• Guacamole
• Parsley (finely chopped)
• Squeeze of fresh lime
• Cactus (from a bottle, chopped)
• Refried beans (instead of ground beef)
• Cucumber (finely chopped)

Served it with a glass of orange juice. It was tasty. A half a pound was the right amount of meat for the two of us.
