  • 1 1/2 cups shredded Monterey Jack cheese
  • 1/2 red onion, thinly sliced

  7. Scatter black beans, corn, red onion slices, and jalapeños across the nachos.
  8. Top with the remaining shredded cheese.
  9. Bake for 10–12 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  10. Remove from the oven and garnish with chopped cilantro and green onions.
  11. Drizzle with sour cream or serve it on the side.

Notes

  • Rotisserie chicken works perfectly for quick preparation.
  • Use pepper jack cheese or extra jalapeños for more heat.
  • Add avocado, guacamole, or pickled onions for extra flavor and texture.
  • For vegetarian nachos, replace the chicken with additional beans and vegetables.
  • Store toppings like sour cream and cilantro separately to keep leftovers fresh.
  • Nachos are best served immediately for maximum crispness.
