Lightly brown ground meat on stovetop and drain excess fat. Prepare taco seasoning mix according to package directions and add to meat. Use 1/2 cup of meat for recipe and reserve the remainder for future use.
Arrange 20 whole nacho chips on a microwave safe plate.
Place 1/4 cup of salsa in mesh sieve or strainer to remove excess juice. Removing the juice will help to keep the chip from becoming soggy.
Use 1/4 cup of cheese to cover each chip and reserve remaining 1/4 cup for later.
Microwave for a short time to lightly melt the cheese.
Remove from microwave and add topping of 1 tablespoon of ground meat followed by a teaspoon of salsa on each chip. Then add remaining cheese, placing an additional tablespoon of cheese over the meat and salsa on each chip.
Place plate in microwave and heat for short amount of time to lightly melt second topping of cheese.
Provide garnishes of guacamole, sour cream, slices of jalapeno peppers and black olives for chips, so they can be added if desired.
Serve immediately after preparing.
