Like most of our recipes, these super nachos were inspired by my mother, Ventura Cavazos, who started this restaurant over 40 years ago. My husband and I carry on the tasty family tradition. —Loma-Linda's Adela Mundt, Toledo, Ohio

Ingredients

1 ripe avocado, peeled
1 teaspoon lemon juice
1/2 cup finely chopped onion
1/2 cup chopped tomato
1/4 teaspoon salt

2/3 cup water, divided
2 tablespoons canola oil
1/2 pound ground beef
1 tablespoon chili powder
7 ounces tortilla chips
2 cups shredded cheddar cheese

Directions

In a small bowl, mash the avocado with lemon juice. Stir in the onion, tomato, salt and pepper; set aside. Mash beans with 1/3 cup of water; place in skillet and cook over medium heat until hot. Stir in oil; remove from the heat and set aside.
In another skillet, cook the ground beef over medium heat until no longer pink; drain. Stir in chili powder and remaining water; cook until liquid evaporates.
Line a baking sheet with foil. Arrange chips in a single layer. Top with teaspoonfuls of bean and meat mixtures. Sprinkle with cheese. Bake at 400° until cheese is melted, about 4 minutes. Serve with avocado mixture and sour cream. Serve immediately.
