Recipe Introduction

"As far as we are concerned, nachos are always a party, even if it's just a party for one. These party nachos, with multiple cheeses and spices, are for those times when you want to get down, hard, with every nacho topping known to humankind—and for when you want to share the wealth with a crowd."

List of Ingredients

â—¦ 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
â—¦ 1 yellow onion, finely chopped
â—¦ 2 tablespoons chili powder
â—¦ 1 tablespoon ground coriander
â—¦ 1 ½ teaspoons ground cumin
â—¦ 4 cloves garlic, minced
â—¦ 1 (15-ounce) can pinto or black beans, undrained
â—¦ 1 (15-ounce) can diced tomatoes, preferably fire-roasted
â—¦ Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
â—¦ 1 (12- to 16-ounce) bag large corn tortilla chips
â—¦ 2 cups shredded Monterey Jack cheese (8 ounces)
â—¦ 2 cups shredded Gouda cheese (8 ounces)
â—¦ 2 poblano chiles, seeded and diced
â—¦ 1 ½ cups guacamole
â—¦ 1 cup sour cream
â—¦ 1 jalapeño, finely chopped
â—¦ 1 lime, zested and cut into wedges
â—¦ ½ small head iceberg lettuce, cored and shredded


Recipe

Preheat the oven to 425° F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with foil.

In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Add the onion and cook, stirring, until soft and beginning to brown, about 3 minutes. Stir in the chili powder, coriander, cumin, and garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute.

Add the beans and tomatoes (with their juices) and cook, stirring occasionally, until thickened and warmed through, about 10 minutes. Mash the beans and tomatoes to your desired consistency and season with salt and pepper.

Spread the tortilla chips out on the prepared baking sheet in an even layer. Pour the bean mixture over the chips. Sprinkle both cheeses evenly over the top, then sprinkle with the poblanos. Bake the nachos until the cheese has melted completely and the edges of the chips are lightly browned, about 10 minutes.

Dollop the nachos with the guacamole and sour cream, then sprinkle with the jalapeño, lime zest, and lettuce. Serve immediately, with the lime wedges alongside.
