Oh, fuck it. Fuck it all. Let’s just get stoned.
SERVES 4
6 cups tortilla chips (note: this is a great way to use up almost-stale tortilla chips)
1 (15-ounce) can black or pinto beans, drained and rinsed
3 cups shredded cheddar or jack cheese
1 green jalapeño pepper, seeded and sliced (leave the seeds intact if you really like spicy), or 1 (4-ounce) can chopped green chilies
2 avocados, diced
1 green onion, diced
2 roma tomatoes, cored and diced, or cherry/grape tomatoes, halved
1 small bunch cilantro, chopped
1 (4-ounce) can sliced black olives (optional)
½ cup sour cream (optional)
• Preheat the oven to 375°F.
• Spread the chips over an ungreased, foil-lined baking sheet. Scatter the beans over the chips. Cover with the shredded cheese and bake for 10 to 12 minutes, or until cheese is melted and bubbly.
• Top the baked nachos with jalapeño or green chilies, avocado, onion, tomato, cilantro, olives, and sour cream.
• Serve immediately, with small plates, so people can serve themselves. Or just put the pan out and dive in, man.
