2. Ingredients

Gather your ingredients for these incredible dumpster fire nachos. Here’s what you’ll need:

• 1 bag of tortilla chips
• 2 cups shredded cheese (cheddar and Monterey Jack blend)
• 1 can of black beans, drained and rinsed
• 1 cup chopped fresh tomatoes
• 1/2 cup sliced jalapeños
• 1 ripe avocado, diced
• 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
• 1/2 cup sour cream (optional)
• 1/4 cup sliced green onions (optional)
• 1 tsp ground cumin
• 1 tsp chili powder
• Salt and pepper to taste

3. Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Base

Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Spread a generous layer of crispy tortilla chips evenly on a baking sheet. These chips will form the foundation of your flavorful dumpster fire nachos! If you’re a fan of crispy dishes, you might also enjoy our Baked Salmon Sushi Cups.

Step 2: Make the Cheesy Mixture

In a saucepan over medium heat, combine the shredded cheese with black beans, ground cumin, chili powder, salt, and pepper. Stir continuously until the cheese melts into a creamy sauce. This gooey mixture is what makes dumpster fire nachos a fiery delight! For another cheesy indulgence, why not explore our dinner recipes?

Step 3: Assemble Your Nachos

Once your cheese mixture is ready, pour it generously over the tortilla chips. Sprinkle on the chopped tomatoes, sliced jalapeños, and diced avocado to add both flavor and color. This is the fun part of making these dumpster fire nachos, so pile it on! Consider adding a side of our Warm Shrimp Chorizo Salad for a complete meal.

Step 4: Bake and Garnish

Place the assembled nachos in the preheated oven for about 10 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbling and slightly golden. Once they’re out, garnish your dumpster fire nachos with fresh cilantro and green onions if desired. Serve immediately, and enjoy the delightful chaos of flavors!

4. Storage Tips

If you happen to have any leftovers (which is rare!), store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat in the oven for best results, as microwaving can make the chips soggy. This ensures you can still enjoy the fiery goodness of your leftover dumpster fire nachos even after the party is over!
