Now that you have your ingredients ready, let’s dive into the step-by-step process of making Beef Chili Breakfast Nachos.

Preparing the Beef Chili:

1. Cook the Ground Beef: Heat a tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it up with a spoon as it cooks.
2. Add Vegetables: Add the chopped onion and minced garlic to the skillet. Cook for about 3 minutes, or until the onion becomes translucent.
3. Season and Simmer: Stir in the chili powder, cumin, salt, and pepper. Cook for another minute until the spices become fragrant.
4. Add Beans and Tomatoes: Pour in the kidney beans and diced tomatoes. Stir to combine and bring the mixture to a simmer. Reduce the heat to low and let it cook for 15-20 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.

Assembling the Nachos:

5. Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C).
6. Layer the Chips and Cheese: Spread a layer of tortilla chips on a large baking sheet. Sprinkle half of the cheddar and Monterey Jack cheese over the chips.
7. Add the Chili: Evenly distribute the prepared beef chili over the chips and cheese.
8. Add More Cheese: Sprinkle the remaining cheese over the top of the chili.
9. Bake the Nachos: Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake for 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Preparing the Eggs:

10. Cook the Eggs: While the nachos are baking, heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Crack the eggs into the skillet and cook them sunny-side up, or to your preferred doneness.

Final Assembly:

11. Top the Nachos: Remove the nachos from the oven. Carefully place the cooked eggs on top of the nachos.
12. Add Toppings: Garnish with sliced jalapeños, diced avocado, sour cream, fresh cilantro, and salsa if desired.
