Units
Scale
- :
- 1 bag tortilla chips
- 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese (or a blend of cheddar and Monterey Jack)
- 1 can black beans, drained and rinsed (optional)
- 1 cup cooked chicken or beef (optional)
- 1 cup sliced jalapeños (fresh or pickled)
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 1/4 cup fresh salsa or pico de gallo
- 1 tablespoon olive oil or butter (for greasing the grill)
- 1/4 cup chopped green onions
- 1/4 cup chopped cilantro (optional)
- 1 tablespoon lime juice (optional)
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- :
- Preheat your grill or campfire. If you’re using a grill, set it to medium heat.
- Lay a large piece of heavy-duty foil (enough to create a “pan” for your nachos) on the grill.
- Layer tortilla chips evenly over the foil.
- Sprinkle a generous amount of shredded cheddar cheese over the chips.
- Add your chosen toppings like beans, chicken, jalapeños, or beef.
- Top with more cheese to ensure it’s melted throughout.
- Cover the nachos with another piece of foil to create a “tent” and cook on the grill or campfire for 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Carefully remove from the grill, and top with fresh salsa, sour cream, green onions, cilantro, and a squeeze of lime juice.
- Serve immediately and enjoy!
Notes
- :
- For an extra smoky flavor, you can grill the nachos directly on the grill grates.
- If you prefer extra crunch, add a few more chips on top after the cheese has melted.
- Customize your nachos with your favorite toppings, like guacamole, olives, or ground beef.
