Method
 

Step‑by‑Step Instructions
  1. In a large skillet, heat over medium heat and add the ground beef along with the chopped onion. Cook for about 10 minutes, breaking the beef into crumbles until browned and no longer pink. Drain any excess grease.
  2. Stir in the refried beans, salsa, and optional olives. Heat through for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally until warmed.
  3. Incorporate the shredded cheddar cheese along with chili powder and salt. Stir well and heat until cheese is completely melted, approximately 3 more minutes.
  4. Spread a layer of tortilla chips on a serving platter. Spoon the beef and cheese mixture over the chips evenly.
  5. Top your nachos with chopped green onions and any optional ingredients like additional olives or diced tomatoes.
