In a large skillet over medium-high heat, brown the ground beef, breaking it up with a spoon. Drain any excess grease. Stir in the taco seasoning and water, bringing it to a simmer. Cook for 2-3 minutes, or until the liquid has mostly evaporated and the meat is well seasoned.

If using the 'topping pour' method: Spread the seasoned ground beef evenly over the second sheet pan. Sprinkle both shredded cheeses over the meat. Scatter the diced tomatoes and pickled jalapeño slices over the cheese. If using, drizzle the warmed cheese sauce over the mixture. Place this sheet pan in the preheated oven.

While the topping is heating, arrange the tortilla chips in a single layer on the first prepared sheet pan. You can slightly overlap them, but try to get as many chips as possible exposed.

Bake the topping mixture for 8-10 minutes, or until the cheese is fully melted and bubbly. The edges of the cheese should be slightly golden.

Carefully remove the hot sheet pan with the topping mixture from the oven using oven mitts. Position it directly over the sheet pan with the plain tortilla chips. Slowly and carefully tilt the hot pan, allowing the entire topping mixture to slide and pour over the tortilla chips, covering them generously.
⏱️ 1 min - 7
Serve immediately. Encourage guests to pick up a single tortilla chip, ensuring it has a generous amount of the melted cheese, seasoned meat, tomatoes, and jalapeños attached. Enjoy!
