Mexican-American · Main course · 20 min total

Crispy tortilla chips loaded with refried beans, melted cheese, and your favorite toppings make for a quick and satisfying snack or meal.

Ingredients

• 1 (15-ounce) can refried beans
• 1/2 cup water
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1/2 teaspoon chili powder
• 1 (12-ounce) bag tortilla chips
• 2 cups shredded Mexican blend cheese
• 1/2 cup diced tomatoes
• 1/4 cup sliced black olives
• 1/4 cup sliced jalapeños
• 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
• 1/2 cup sour cream
• 1/2 cup salsa

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a small saucepan, combine refried beans, water, cumin, and chili powder. Cook over medium heat, stirring, until smooth and heated through, about 3 minutes.
3. Spread tortilla chips in an even layer on the prepared baking sheet. Spoon the warm bean mixture over the chips. Sprinkle with shredded cheese.
4. Bake for 5-7 minutes, until cheese is melted and bubbly.
5. Remove from oven and top with diced tomatoes, black olives, jalapeños, and cilantro. Serve immediately with sour cream and salsa on the side.

Tips

• For extra protein, add cooked ground beef or shredded chicken before the cheese.
• Store leftover nachos in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days; reheat in oven to regain crispness.
• Customize with toppings like guacamole, green onions, or pickled red onions.
