How do I keep nachos from getting soggy?

No one likes soggy nachos! To avoid soggy chips, wait to layer your cheese and toppings until you're ready to bake.

What cheese is best for nachos?

I prefer a mix of Monterey Jack and sharp cheddar, but you can also use pepper jack or queso.

Yes. To make these vegetarian nachos vegan, use a plant-based cheese alternative and dairy-free sour cream.

These loaded Black Bean Nachos deserve a spot on your game day snack lineup. They’re simple to make and so delicious!

Preheat the oven to 375°F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
Spread half of the tortilla chips evenly on the prepared baking sheet. Evenly sprinkle half of the beans, cheeses, tomatoes, jalapenos, and red onion over the chips. Add a second layer of tortilla chips, and repeat with the remaining toppings, making sure everything is evenly spread out.
Bake for 6-8 minutes, or until the cheese is fully melted. Check at 6 minutes to avoid burning.
Top with fresh cilantro and serve immediately with sour cream on the side for dipping.

I recommend freshly shredding the cheese yourself since it melts better than pre-shredded cheese. Either will work in this recipe though!
