Ingredients

  • 10 ounces tortilla chips
  • 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 can (15 ounces) black beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1/2 cup pickled jalapeños, sliced
  • 1/4 cup green onions, chopped
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1/2 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Sour cream and salsa for serving (optional)

How to Make Loaded Nachos

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. On a large baking sheet, spread out the tortilla chips in an even layer.
  3. In a mixing bowl, combine the black beans, olive oil, ground cumin, chili powder, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Stir until the beans are well-coated.
  4. Evenly distribute the seasoned black beans over the tortilla chips.
  5. Generously sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese on top of the chips and beans.
  6. Add the sliced jalapeños over the cheese.
  7. Bake in the preheated oven for about 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  8. Remove from the oven and garnish with chopped green onions.
  9. Serve hot with sour cream and salsa on the side, if desired.

Tips for the Best Results

  • Use a mix of cheese for added flavor, such as Monterey Jack or pepper jack.
  • Don’t overcrowd the chips; a single layer helps ensure even cheese melting.
  • Customize the spice level by adding more or fewer jalapeños.
  • For a heartier option, consider adding cooked ground beef or chicken to the mix.

Easy Variations

  • Swap out black beans for pinto beans or refried beans.
  • Add fresh diced tomatoes or avocado for a fresh twist.
  • Top with diced bell peppers or corn for extra crunch.
  • For a vegan version, use dairy-free cheese and skip the sour cream.

What to Serve With It

  • Fresh guacamole for dipping.
  • A side of tangy pico de gallo.
  • Lightly salted tortilla wraps or quesadillas.
  • A crisp green salad to balance the richness.

Storage and Reheating

Leftover nachos can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. To reheat, spread them on a baking sheet and warm them in a 350°F (175°C) oven until heated through, about 10 minutes. Note that the chips may lose some crispness.
