Scale
Main Ingredients
- 1 bag tortilla chips
- 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 cup black beans, rinsed and drained
- 1 cup diced tomatoes
- 1/2 cup sliced jalapeños
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 1/4 cup chopped cilantro
- 1 avocado, diced
- 1/2 cup salsa
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure it reaches the perfect temperature for melting the cheese evenly.
- Arrange Chips: Spread the bag of tortilla chips evenly on a large baking sheet, creating a single layer to allow for uniform topping distribution.
- Add Cheese: Sprinkle 2 cups of shredded cheddar cheese generously over the tortilla chips, covering them as evenly as possible.
- Top with Veggies and Beans: Evenly distribute the rinsed and drained black beans, diced tomatoes, and sliced jalapeños over the chips and cheese, layering the flavors and textures.
- Bake Nachos: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for about 10 minutes, or until the cheese is fully melted and bubbling.
- Garnish: Remove the nachos from the oven and immediately top with half a cup of sour cream dolloped across, chopped cilantro sprinkled evenly, and the diced avocado for creaminess and freshness.
- Serve: Serve the nachos hot with 1/2 cup of salsa on the side for dipping, perfect for sharing at holiday gatherings or casual get-togethers.
Notes
- For extra heat, add more jalapeños or a dash of hot sauce.
- Use fresh, ripe avocados for the best flavor and texture.
- To make this dish vegetarian, ensure the cheese is free from animal rennet.
- Serve immediately for the best experience as the chips may get soggy if left too long.
- Black beans can be substituted with pinto beans or refried beans if preferred.
