Instructions
- Cook the Beef: In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until browned, breaking it apart with a spatula as it cooks. Drain any excess fat.

- Finish with Sour Cream & Guacamole: Spoon sour cream and guacamole over the top of the nachos and sprinkle with fresh cilantro for an added burst of flavor.
