Ingredients
Oven-baked nachos
- 2 (11-ounce) bags tortilla chips
- 5 cups (48-ounces) shredded cheese freshly grated for best results
- 1 (15-ounce) can black beans drained
- ½ cup white onion finely chopped
- ½ cup pickled jalapeños optional
Toppings
- Seasoned cooked meat or additional beans*
- Sour cream, guacamole, and salsa*
- Chopped cilantro, scallions, and olives*
Instructions
- Heat oven to 350° F. Line two large rimmed baking sheets (half sheet pans) with foil. Arrange half of the chips on pans and top with some cheeses, beans, onion, and jalapeño. Repeat layers for two to three layers total. (These can be assembled up to one hour before baking.)
- Working with one sheet at a time, bake until cheese is melted, 10 to 15 minutes. While nachos bake, place all of your additional toppings and garnishes in individual serving bowls.
- Instruct guests to serve themselves from the nacho pan and dress their nachos as desired with assorted toppings. Heat the second pan as the first for fresh, hot nachos.
