| 1. Preheat the oven to 375°F. | 2. Brown the ground beef in a skillet over medium heat. | 3. Use a spatula or fork to crumble the beef into small pieces as it cooks. | 4. When you no longer see pink in the meat, drain off the fat. | 5. To the meat, add the chili powder, salt, dried onion, paprika, and water. Simmer over medium/low heat for 10 minutes. | 6. If you are going to prepare your own tortilla chips, do that following the instructions in "Tidbits"* while the meat is simmering. | 7. Heat the refried beans in a small saucepan over low heat or in the microwave for about 2 minutes. | 8. Mix the two cheeses together in a small bowl. | 9. Arrange the tortilla chips on a baking sheet or an oven-safe ceramic plate. | 10. Spread about a tablespoon of refried beans on each chip. | 11. Sprinkle a couple of tablespoons of spiced beef onto the beans on each chip, press down on the beef to make a flat surface for the cheese. | 12. Carefully pile a small handful of cheese on each chip. | 13. Sprinkle a pinch of the diced onion over the cheese. | 14. Place a slice of jalapeño on top of the onion. | 15. Bake the chips for 8 to 10 minutes or until the cheese has melted. | 16. Serve with your choice of sour cream, guacamole, and salsa on the side. | 17. *Tidbits: If you want to make your own tasty tortilla chips, buy some 6-inch corn tortillas and cut two of them twice-like a small pizza-into 4 equal triangular pieces (making a total of 8 slices). Drop the tortilla slices 4 at a time into a frying pan filled with about 1/2 inch of oil that has preheated over medium heat. Chips should bubble rapidly and will only need to fry 30 to 45 seconds per side. They should become a bit more golden in color, and very crispy. Drain the chips on a rack or on some paper towels. Salt to taste. | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
