Instructions

1- Prepare the Chili:

• In a large pot or skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and garlic, sautéing until the onion is translucent.
• Add the ground beef, cooking and stirring until browned and cooked through.
• Mix in the cumin, garlic powder, chili powder, sugar, onion salt, adobo seasoning, black pepper, and cayenne. Stir well to coat the meat with the spices.
• Pour in the beef broth and bring to a simmer. Add the tomato paste, spaghetti sauce, diced tomatoes and green chilies, and kidney beans.
• Stir to combine, lower the heat, and let it simmer for about 20-30 minutes, stirring occasionally, until flavors have melded together.

2- Assemble the Nachos:

• If you're using flour tortillas, cut them into wedges and bake in a preheated oven at 180°C (350°F) until crispy.
• On a large platter or baking dish, spread out the tortilla chips or baked tortilla wedges.
• Spoon the hot chili over the chips, ensuring they are evenly covered. Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the top.
• Place under a broiler or in the oven for a few minutes until the cheese melts.

3- Garnish and Serve:

• Drizzle sour cream over the melted cheese and chili.
• Garnish with fresh cilantro.
