  • 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped

Instructions:

  1. Cook the Ground Beef:

    • Sprinkle the shredded cheese on top.
  3. Bake:

    • Remove from the oven and drizzle salsa over the nachos.
    • Dollop Greek yogurt over the top.
    • Sprinkle diced tomatoes, sliced green onions, and chopped cilantro.
