Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a large skillet, brown the ground beef over medium heat for 5-7 minutes until no longer pink. Mix in taco seasoning and water, simmer for 3-5 minutes and set aside.
  2. Tear off four 16-inch sheets of aluminum foil. In each sheet, layer tortilla chips, cooked beef mixture, and sprinkle Mexican blend cheese.
  3. Fold the edges of the foil to create secure packets, ensuring air circulation for melting cheese.
  4. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Place foil packs on a baking sheet and bake for about 10 minutes until cheese is bubbly and golden.
  5. Open each foil pack carefully. Top with avocado, Roma tomato, cilantro, green onions, and sour cream. Serve immediately.
