Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add 1 tablespoon of avocado oil and the ground beef. Cook for 3-4 minutes, and then add the diced onion. Cook for another 2-3 minutes.
Add the taco seasoning and tomato sauce and cook for another minute. Set aside.
Set the oven to broil and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Spread the tortilla chips out. Spread the beef mixture all over the chips. Then, sprinkle the cheddar cheese on top. Broil for 1-2 minutes or until the cheese is melted and bubbling.
Top the nachos with lettuce, pico, sour cream, and guacamole. Serve immediately.
