Ingredients
2/3 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
2/3 cup shredded pepper jack cheese
1 8-to-10-ounce bag multicolored tortilla chips
1/2 cup canned black beans, drained and rinsed
1 1/2 cups cheese sauce, warmed (see recipe below)
1 1/2 cups prepared chili, warmed
1/2 cup guacamole (see recipe below)
Sour cream, pico de gallo, sliced pickled jalapenos and sliced scallions, for topping
Directions
Preheat
the oven to 350 degrees F. Mix the cheddar and pepper jack in a bowl.
Spread half of the tortilla chips in the bottom of a deep 12-inch
cast-iron skillet or cake pan. Sprinkle with half of the cheese mixture
and bake until the cheese melts, about 5 minutes. Top with the remaining
chips and sprinkle with the remaining cheese mixture and the black
beans. Return to the oven and bake until the cheese melts, about 5 more
minutes.
Remove the nachos from the oven and drizzle with the
cheese sauce, then top with the chili and guacamole. Top with sour
cream, pico de gallo, pickled jalapenos and scallions.

until smooth.
