Crispy chips layered with cheese, beans, fresh veggies, and topped with cooked eggs for a satisfying start.
# The Ingredients You'll Need:
→ Base
01 - 7 oz tortilla chips
→ Vegetables
02 - 1 small red onion, finely diced
03 - 1 small bell pepper, diced
04 - 1 jalapeño, thinly sliced (optional)
05 - 2 medium tomatoes, seeded and diced
→ Protein
06 - 3.5 oz cooked black beans, rinsed and drained
→ Cheese
07 - 5 oz shredded cheddar cheese
08 - 1.75 oz shredded Monterey Jack cheese
→ Toppings
10 - 2 oz sour cream
11 - 1 ripe avocado, sliced or diced
12 - 2 tbsp fresh cilantro, chopped
13 - Lime wedges, to serve
14 - Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
15 - Salsa or hot sauce, to serve
# Step-by-Step Instructions:
01 - Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
02 - Spread half of the tortilla chips evenly on a large ovenproof platter or baking sheet.
03 - Distribute half of the black beans, diced onion, bell pepper, jalapeño, tomatoes, and shredded cheese evenly over the chips.
04 - Repeat the layering process with the remaining chips, beans, vegetables, and cheese.
05 - Bake the layered chips for 8–10 minutes until the cheese is completely melted and bubbling.
06 - While the chips bake, heat a nonstick skillet over medium heat with a small amount of oil or butter. Crack in eggs and cook sunny-side up until whites are set but yolks remain runny, about 3–4 minutes. Cover briefly for firmer yolks if desired.
07 - Remove nachos from the oven and carefully place one cooked egg on each quarter portion.
08 - Garnish with sour cream, avocado, chopped cilantro, and a squeeze of lime. Serve immediately alongside salsa or hot sauce.
