To round out your meal with these hearty nachos, I recommend serving up some cool, crisp homemade coleslaw or a vibrant, fresh garden salad—with the dressing on the side, mind you. Now, if it ain’t a festive occasion without a little extra, you go ahead and set out some small bowls of salsa, guacamole, and sour cream. For a sweet finish, maybe a slice of apple pie could sit just right, reminiscent of our cherished potlucks past.
Ingredients:
– 1 large bag of your favorite tortilla chips
– 2 cups of shredded sharp cheddar cheese (or mix it up with a blend of Monterey Jack and Colby)
– 1 (15-ounce) can of black beans, rinsed and drained
– 1 fresh, ripe tomato, diced
– 1 small red onion, finely chopped
– 1 jalapeño, thinly sliced (remove the seeds if you like it less fiery)
– 1/2 cup of black olives, sliced
– 1/2 cup of sweet corn (fresh, frozen, or canned will do)
– 1 cup cooked, shredded chicken or ground beef (optional)
– Chopped cilantro, for garnish
– Salt and pepper, to taste
