Taco Nachos

This recipe is really a combination of two other recipes I saw recently: Carrie’s walking tacos and Laura’s skillet tacos. I took the best parts of both recipes and combined them into what I believe is the best ever alterna-taco. How can you go wrong with flavorful, seasoned meat on top of a big pile of Doritos? Well, you can’t. Obviously these really aren’t all that good for you, but every once in a while they’re a fun and delicious indulgence. I can’t wait to have them again!

Shredded lettuce, tomato, or sour cream, if desired

1. In a large skillet, cook beef and onion over medium heat until meat is no longer pink. Add garlic, cook and stir for 30 seconds, then drain meat mixture.
