DESCRIPTION

Cheese, seasoned meat, jalapeños, tomatoes, olives, cilantro, and green onions.  All the makings of a fine plate of nachos. But this recipe combines them all into a quick and easy Nacho Dip.


Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 1 Tbsp. olive oil
  • 1/2 lb. ground beef (or substitute turkey or chicken)
  • 2 tsp. cumin
  • 1 tsp. chili powder
