Foil-Pack Baked Nachos
These baked nachos are not only delicious but are also incredibly easy to prepare. By using foil packs, you can create individual servings that are perfect for sharing or for a cozy movie night in. Here’s how to make them!
Ingredients:
- 1 bag of tortilla chips
- 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or a blend)
- 1 can black beans, drained and rinsed
- 1 cup diced tomatoes (fresh or canned)
- 1 cup sliced jalapeños (fresh or pickled)
- 1 avocado, diced
- Sour cream (for topping)
- Chopped cilantro (for garnish)
- Optional: Any additional toppings like corn, olives, or ground beef
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Start by taking large pieces of aluminum foil and creating bowls. Place the foil on a baking sheet, shaping it into a bowl-like structure.
- Layer the tortilla chips at the bottom of each foil bowl.
- Sprinkle a generous amount of shredded cheese on top of the chips.
- Next, add black beans and diced tomatoes evenly over the chips and cheese.
- If you like a little heat, add sliced jalapeños according to your spice preference.
- Fold the sides of the foil over the nachos to create a sealed packet, leaving some space for air to circulate inside.
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Once done, carefully remove the foil packets from the oven. Remember, they will be hot!
- Open the packets and top with diced avocado, a dollop of sour cream, and chopped cilantro.
- Serve immediately and watch them disappear!
