Ingredients

  • 1 tbsp - olive oil
  • ½ - onion
  • 2 cloves - garlic
  • 1 can - black beans
  • ½ tsp - cumin
  • ½ tsp - salt
  • freshly ground pepper
  • ½ tsp - chipotle powder
  • ¼ cup - water
  • 1 bag - tortilla chips
  • 4 cups - shredded cheese of choice
  • jalapeño
  • cilantro
  • sour cream
  • red onion
  • guacamole/avocado

Instructions

  1. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add in the onion and sauté for 5 minutes. Add in the garlic and sauté for 2 more minutes.
  2. Pour in the can of drained black beans, cumin, salt, pepper, chipotle powder, and water/broth. Bring to a simmer and cook over low heat for 5-8 minutes until the mixture has thickened and very little liquid remains. Remove from the heat.
  3. Assemble the nachos: layer half of the chips on a large baking tray (I like to line mine with parchment paper for easier cleanup). Top with half of the cheese and layer on the remaining chips. Evenly distribute the black bean mixture over the top of the chips and then add any other toppings of choice. Finally, layer on the remaining cheese so that it’s evenly distributed across the top. I like to leave the edges around the pan free of cheese so there’s a nice place to grab the chips when serving.
  4. Bake for 5-8 minutes or until the cheese is fully melted. Sprinkle with your desired toppings and ENJOY!
  5. This could be made vegan by using vegan cheese
