Prep Time: 15 mins
Cook Time: 30 mins
Total Time: 45 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 6 servings

Ingredients

  1. 1 bag tortilla chips
  2. 1 can black beans, drained and rinsed
  3. 1 cup shredded cheese
  4. 1 cup salsa
  5. 1/2 cup sour cream
  6. 1/4 cup chopped green onions
  7. 1 jalapeño, sliced

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). This will ensure that your snacks are perfectly heated and the cheese is melted to perfection.
  2. On a large baking sheet, spread out the tortilla chips evenly. Make sure they are in a single layer to allow for even cooking.
  3. In a medium bowl, combine the drained and rinsed black beans with half of the salsa. Mix well to ensure the beans are coated in the salsa.
  4. Evenly distribute the black bean and salsa mixture over the tortilla chips, ensuring that every chip gets a bit of the flavorful topping.
  5. Sprinkle the shredded cheese generously over the chips and black bean mixture. The cheese will melt and bind the ingredients together.
  6. Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for about 15-20 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  7. While the nachos are baking, prepare your toppings. In a small bowl, mix the remaining salsa with the sour cream to create a delicious dipping sauce.
  8. Once the nachos are done baking, carefully remove them from the oven. Let them cool for a minute before adding the finishing touches.
  9. Top the nachos with the chopped green onions and jalapeño slices for added flavor and a bit of heat.
  10. Serve the nachos hot, alongside the salsa and sour cream dip. Enjoy your delicious October tailgating snacks!

Tips

  1. • For extra crispy chips, briefly toast them in the oven before adding toppings • Use a mix of cheese varieties like cheddar and pepper jack for more complex flavor • Let the nachos rest for 1-2 minutes after baking to help the cheese set • Customize heat levels by adjusting jalapeño quantity • Prep ingredients beforehand to make assembly quick during game time • Use fresh, high-quality salsa for maximum flavor impact • For a healthier version, use low-fat cheese and Greek yogurt instead of sour cream
