NEUTRAL ZONE NACHOS

These are not your 'per say' normal nachos. Corn chips and lettuce surround a platter of refried beans, seasoned ground beef, Jack cheese, onions, tomatoes, and black olives. A mound of sour cream and guacamole tops it all off. Serve with your favorite salsa on the side.

1 envelope taco seasoning
3/4 cup water
2 cans refried beans
