Instructions

Cook the ground beef in a skillet over medium heat until browned. Drain excess fat.
Add taco seasoning, ranch seasoning, and water; stir and simmer for 2–3 minutes.
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C); arrange tortilla chips on a baking tray and fill with beef mixture.
Top chips with diced tomatoes and cheese; bake for 5–7 minutes until cheese is melted.

For a lighter option, substitute beef with ground turkey or chicken.
Shred cheese from a block for better melting results.
Taco Ranch Bites can be refrigerated and reheated in the oven to maintain crispiness.
