Ingredients

• 10 ounces tortilla chips
• 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
• 1 can black beans
• 1 whole jalapeño peppers
• 1 whole red bell pepper
• 2 whole green onions
• 0.5 cup sour cream
• 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro
• 1 whole lime
• 2 whole avocados
• 1 whole small tomato
• 0.25 whole red onion
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

Step 2

Arrange the tortilla chips in a single layer on a large oven-safe platter or baking sheet.

Step 3

Open the can of black beans, drain, and rinse them under cold water. Evenly distribute the beans over the top of the chips.

Step 4

Dice the red bell pepper and slice the jalapeño into thin rings. Remove seeds if you prefer less heat. Scatter these over the beans and chips.

Step 5

Thinly slice the green onions and sprinkle them over the nachos.

Step 6

Generously cover the nachos with shredded cheddar cheese.

Step 7

Place the platter in the preheated oven and bake for about 10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Step 8

While the nachos are baking, prepare the guacamole. Cut the avocados in half, remove the pits, and scoop the flesh into a mixing bowl. Mash with a fork until smooth.

Step 9

Finely chop the tomato and red onion. Add them to the avocados in the mixing bowl.

Step 10

Chop the fresh cilantro and add it to the mix, along with the juice of one lime, salt, and black pepper. Mix everything until well combined.

Step 11

Once the cheese is melted, remove the nachos from the oven.

Step 12

Transfer the nachos to serving plates or serve directly from the baking dish. Top with dollops of guacamole and sour cream.

Step 13

Garnish with additional cilantro leaves and slices of jalapeño if desired, and serve immediately.
