Boosted Nachos with Taco Boosters & Muscle Boosters Cheesy Cheese
19 May 2026
Nachos are already a win. These are better. The ground beef gets seasoned with Taco Boosters right in the pan — three scoops per half pound — which means every bite of meat is punchy, savory, and actually seasoned all the way through. The queso is made from scratch using Muscle Boosters Cheesy Cheese: three scoops mixed with a little hot water at a time until it's thick, smooth, and ready to drizzle over the whole thing. One serving clocks 53g of protein. Make these for game night, a lazy Friday dinner, or honestly just because nachos are a valid meal.

Boosted Nachos
Ingredients
- 1 lb 93% lean ground beef
- 6 scoops Taco Boosters (3 scoops per ½ lb of meat)
- 3 scoops Muscle Boosters Cheesy Cheese
- Hot water, added gradually (for the queso)
- 12 oz tortilla chips
- Jalapeños, sliced
- Sour cream
- Salsa
- Fresh cilantro
Instructions
- Heat a skillet over medium-high. Add the ground beef and cook, breaking it up as you go, until no pink remains — about 7 minutes. Drain any excess fat.
- Add the Taco Boosters directly to the meat (3 scoops per ½ lb). Stir to coat evenly and cook for another 2 minutes until fragrant.
- In a small saucepan over low heat, add 3 scoops of Muscle Boosters Cheesy Cheese. Add hot water a little at a time — a tablespoon or so — stirring constantly between each pour. Keep going until you hit a thick, smooth, pourable cheese sauce. Don't rush the water; go slow and you'll nail the texture.
- Spread the tortilla chips in a single layer on a large plate or sheet pan. Top evenly with the seasoned meat.
- Drizzle the queso generously over everything. Finish with jalapeños, sour cream, salsa, and cilantro. Serve immediately.
53g Protein per serving
Notes
Taco Boosters ratio: Always 3 scoops per ½ lb of meat. Scale up or down depending on how much you're making.
Queso tip: Add the hot water slowly — a splash at a time — and stir fully before adding more. You're going for thick and scoopable, not runny. If it tightens up as it sits, add a tiny splash more water and stir again.
Flavor swap: Muscle Boosters Cheesy Cheese makes a bold, cheddar-forward queso. If you want something a bit milder, Meal Boosters White Cheddar works great here too.
Make it a spread: Set out extra toppings — diced white onion, guacamole, lime wedges, hot sauce — and let everyone build their own plate.
