These are a little labor intensive, but at some parties everyone wants to be in the kitchen and help – so let them!

Ingredients:

• 3 lb. lean ground beef
• 1 oz. packet taco seasoning (or 2 if you like)
• 100 round tortilla chips (try to choose flat ones)
• 1/2 #10 can refried beans (2 #2 1/2 – 30 0z cans)
• 2 lbs finely grated cheddar cheese
• 4 roma tomatoes, finely diced drained
• 2 c sour cream
• 2 c guacamole
• 1 jar salsa
• 1 bag finely shredded lettuce
• 1 bunch cilantro, chopped – optional
• 1 onion, diced – optional

Instructions:

1. In a large skillet cook ground beef breaking it apart in the pan as it browns.
2. Once completely browned, stir in taco seasoning and about 1/4 cup water.
3. Heat refried beans in microwave safe bowl. (or not if you are camping)
4. To assemble, place tortilla rounds onto a serving platter.
5. Spread about 1 tablespoon of refried beans onto each chip.
6. Add 1 tablespoon of meat onto beans and press into the beans to help it stick.
7. Top with grated cheese,
8. Then add diced tomato, sour cream, guacamole, lettuce, onion, and cilantro.  (This is actually way too much on top – pick and choose three.)
9. Serve immediately.

Or put everything out and let everyone assemble their own.
