If you\u2019re craving a simple yet delicious meal, these black bean nachos will hit the spot. These vegetarian nachos combine the hearty goodness of black beans with the satisfying crunch of tortilla chips.<\/p>\n
These bean and cheese nachos come together in just 20 minutes, making them a great option for a quick weeknight dinner or a last-minute party snack<\/a>. They’re also easily customizable. Top the nachos with homemade guacamole<\/a>, make them extra-cheesy with a drizzle of nacho cheese sauce<\/a> or pile on any of your favorite toppings for a delicious personalized touch.<\/p>\n Preheat the oven to 350\u00b0F. In a medium bowl, combine the black beans, tomatoes and jalapenos.<\/p>\n Arrange the tortilla chips in an even layer on a 15x10x1-inch pan. Evenly spread the bean mixture over the chips, then sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese on top.<\/p>\n Editor’s Tip:<\/em> For extra-cheesy nachos, add an additional 1\/2 cup of cheese. You can also experiment with a blend of cheddar and Monterey Jack for a flavor twist.<\/p>\n Bake the nachos, uncovered, until the cheese is melted, 10 to 12 minutes. Serve the nachos immediately with your choice of optional toppings.<\/p>\n These black bean nachos are best enjoyed fresh and hot, but the leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to four days. It’s best to store the nachos before adding toppings like sour cream, which can make the chips soggy.<\/p>\n The tortilla chips will soften slightly when stored in the fridge, so we like to reheat nachos in the oven instead of the microwave. Pop them on a baking sheet and reheat them in a 350\u00b0 oven for 5 to 10 minutes to restore their initial crispiness.<\/p>\n We don’t recommend freezing black bean nachos. The chips will be very soggy when thawed.<\/p>\n To prevent black bean nachos from turning soggy, make sure the black beans and tomatoes are well drained before adding them to the chips. Serve the nachos immediately after baking, and consider placing wet toppings like sour cream on the side instead of on top.<\/p>\n We suggest topping these nachos with sour cream, chopped cilantro and sliced jalapenos, but you can also include guacamole, pico de gallo or sliced olives for extra flavor and texture. Drizzling nacho cheese sauce over the top will also take these black bean nachos to the next level.<\/p>\n For the perfect nacho experience, layer the tortilla chips with black beans and shredded cheese. You can repeat the layers to ensure every chip gets a good amount of toppings, preventing a layer of plain chips at the bottom.<\/p>\n Black bean nachos are one of our favorite gluten-free Mexican recipes<\/a>! Most multigrain chips are naturally gluten-free, but it’s always best to check the packaging to be sure. You can also turn corn tortillas into homemade tortilla chips<\/a> in the oven or make air-fryer tortilla chips<\/a>.<\/p>\n We use shredded cheddar cheese for this black bean nachos recipe, but feel free to switch up the flavor by using a different cheese. Try Monterey Jack, pepper jack or a Mexican shredded cheese blend.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" We’re trying to go meatless once a week, and this dish helps make those meals fun, quick and super delicious.
