Sour Cream Nachos

Source of Recipe

From "Saveur: The New Classics"


Recipe Introduction

"We found these indulgent nachos at the San Antonio, Texas, eatery Los Barrios, where, with no false modesty, the menu called them 'the most outstanding appetizer there is.'"

List of Ingredients

◦  2½ cups refried beans
◦  5 to 6 ounces tortilla chips
◦  1 cup grated Swiss cheese
◦  1 cup grated provolone
◦  1 jalapeño, stemmed, seeded, and diced
◦  ½ cup sour cream
◦  1 Tbsp chopped, drained jarred pimientos


Recipe

Heat oven to 300° F. Heat refried beans in a pan over medium heat until hot.

Spread chips out evenly on a large oval ovenproof dish. Spread beans on top of chips, sprinkle cheeses evenly over beans, and scatter jalapeños over cheese.

Bake until cheese is completely melted, about 5 minutes.
Garnish with dollops of sour cream, then scatter pimientos over nachos. Serve immediately.
