Equipment

  • Sheet pan

Ingredients

  • 1 bag tortilla chips (10 oz)
  • 1 can black beans drained and rinsed
  • 1 cup corn kernels fresh, frozen, or canned
  • 1 small red onion finely chopped
  • 1 cup bell pepper finely chopped
  • ¼ cup jalapeno finely chopped
  • ¼ cup cilantro finely chopped
  • 1 cup salsa
  • 2 cup shredded cheese
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 375℉. Line a sheet pan with parchment paper.
  • Spread the tortilla chips in a single layer with chips overlapping each other. Evenly spread the black beans and corn kernel. Season lightly with salt if desired.
  • Next, top with red onion, bell peppers, jalapeno, cilantro, and salsa. Spread the cheese evenly, making sure the pan is fully covered.
  • Bake in preheated oven for 8-10 minutes or until the cheese is fully melted and bubbly. Serve immediately.

Notes

  • The layering order in loaded nachos is flexible and can be adjusted based on your preferences. Placing the cheese on top can create a gooey and melty layer that binds all the other ingredients together.
  • Use sturdy, thick tortilla chips that won't crumble under the weight of toppings. Toasting them in the oven before layering creates a satisfyingly crispy base.
  • Drain and rinse black beans to remove excess starch that can make the nachos watery.
