How To
Prepare the ingredients of the recipe while you preheat the oven to 350F.
Nacho chips:
Combine all ingredients for the chips in one mixing bowl. Knead to consistency. When the dough looks soft enough, press with a rolling pin on a flat surface.
Cut the flattened dough into bite-sized rectangular pieces. Lay a piece of cheddar cheese on top of each cracker. Arrange the pieces on a baking sheet and brown in the oven for approximately 10 minutes. Put in a plate until ready to serve.
Meat topping:
Pour oil in a preheated skillet. Sauté the ground beef in the pan together with the minced garlic, bay leaf, and oregano for 10 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Drop the chopped tomatoes into the pan and allow to cook for another 5 minutes before turning off the stove.
The guacamole:
Mix all the guacamole ingredients in a bowl. Adjust the flavor with some salt.
Spread sour cream (optional) and meat on top of the crackers. Serve with the guacamole on the side.
