- Garnish with fresh chopped cilantro leaves.
- Serve immediately while the nachos are still warm and the cheese is gooey.
Tips
- • For extra flavor, consider using a blend of cheeses like Cheddar and Monterey Jack • Make sure to drain beans thoroughly to prevent soggy nachos • Use ripe avocados for the creamiest guacamole • For a spicier kick, add diced jalapeños or a dash of hot sauce • Serve immediately after baking to maintain the perfect chip crispness • Customize with additional toppings like sour cream, diced tomatoes, or sliced green onions • Use parchment paper on the baking sheet for easier cleanup • If you want a vegetarian protein boost, you can substitute black beans with refried beans
