A quick, easy, and crowd-pleasing nacho recipe perfect for parties, featuring crispy tortilla chips layered with cheese, beans, jalapeños, and a smoky seasoning blend.

Ingredients

  • Thick, sturdy tortilla chips (e.g., On the Border brand)
  • Shredded sharp cheddar cheese
  • Shredded Monterey Jack cheese
  • Black beans, drained and rinsed
  • Sliced fresh or pickled jalapeños
  • Thinly sliced green onions
  • Halved cherry tomatoes
  • Ground cumin
  • Smoked paprika
  • Olive oil
  • Sour cream or Greek yogurt (for serving, optional)
  • Fresh cilantro, roughly chopped
  • Optional: cooked, seasoned ground beef or shredded chicken

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Line a large rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly spray it with non-stick spray.
  3. Spread tortilla chips evenly across the sheet pan in a mostly single layer.
  4. Sprinkle half of the shredded cheddar and Monterey Jack cheese evenly over the chips.
  5. Scatter the black beans evenly on top of the cheese layer.
  6. Sprinkle sliced jalapeños and halved cherry tomatoes over the beans.
  7. Mix ground cumin and smoked paprika with olive oil in a small bowl, then drizzle this seasoning mix over the nachos.
  8. Add the remaining shredded cheese on top for a double layer.
  9. Bake in the oven for 10-12 minutes, watching closely after 8 minutes until cheese is bubbly and slightly browned.
  10. Remove from oven and immediately sprinkle sliced green onions and chopped cilantro over the top.
  11. Serve with dollops of sour cream or Greek yogurt on the side.

Notes

Use thick, sturdy tortilla chips to avoid sogginess. Do not overcrowd the pan to ensure crispiness. Press down chips gently before baking if some remain under-melted. Reheat leftovers in the oven or air fryer to maintain crispiness; avoid microwaving.
