Beef Mixture:
1 1/2 pounds ground beef
1 onion, chopped fine
3 cloves garlic, minced
8 ounces tomato sauce
8 ounces tomato paste
3 cups water
2 1/2 teaspoons oregano
2 teaspoons cumin
2 teaspoons chili powder
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1/2 cup uncooked white rice
Nachos:
3 cups cheddar cheese, shredded
3 large tomatoes, chopped
2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped
1/2 head iceberg lettuce, chopped
1 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional)
10 ounces tortilla chips

Steps:

The first part of this Mexican nacho recipe is to prepare the beef mixture. In a large pan, brown the ground beef. Add the onions and garlic and cook for 3-4 minutes on medium or until the onions are translucent. Drain the fat from the beef and return it to the pan.
Heat pan to medium high and add the tomato sauce, tomato paste, water, oregano, cum, chili powder, salt and rice. Cook the mixture 15-20 minutes or until rice is tender. Cover and lower the heat. Simmer 30 minutes.
Layer tortillas on a plate. If desired, sprinkle with cayenne pepper and top the tortillas with 2 tablespoons of beef and rice mixture and small portions each of cheese, chopped tomatoes, cilantro and lettuce. Serve as a main course or appetizer.
