Instructions
step 1 Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
step 2 In a skillet over medium heat, cook ground beef until browned. Drain excess fat.
step 3 Add taco seasoning and water to the beef. Simmer for 5 minutes until thickened.
step 4 Spread tortilla chips on a large oven-safe platter or baking sheet.
step 5 Layer seasoned beef over the chips, followed by both cheeses and bacon bits.
step 6 Bake in the oven for 8-10 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
step 7 Remove from oven and top with sour cream, red onions, and cilantro if using.
step 8 For the wings, season chicken with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika.
step 9 Bake or air-fry wings at 400°F (200°C) for 25-30 minutes until crispy and cooked through.
step 10 Toss hot wings in barbecue or buffalo sauce mixed with honey, if desired.
step 11 Serve wings on the side of the loaded nachos for the ultimate flavor combo.
Storage and Reheating Tips
Store leftover nachos and wings separately in airtight containers. Nachos are best enjoyed fresh, but can be reheated in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for 5-7 minutes. Wings can be reheated in the oven or air fryer at 375°F (190°C) until warmed through and crispy again. Avoid microwaving to maintain texture.
