Ingredients

  1. Nonstick cooking spray, for the baking sheet and tortillas
  2. Six 6-inch corn tortillas
  3. 2 teaspoons ranch seasoning mix
  4. 2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
  5. 1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
  6. 1 vine-ripened tomato, finely diced
  7. 1 lime, juiced
  8. 1 small ripe avocado, diced
  9. 1/2 small red onion, finely diced
  10. Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
  11. 1 cup drained and rinsed canned black beans
  12. 1 cup drained canned corn
  13. 1/4 cup sliced pickled jalapenos
  14. 4 ounces pepper jack cheese, grated

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Spray a baking sheet with cooking spray.
  2. Cut each tortilla into 8 triangles. Place the triangles in a bowl, spray lightly with cooking spray and toss with the ranch seasoning to coat well, making sure the pieces are evenly coated. Spread in an even layer on the prepared baking sheet.
  3. Bake, stirring halfway through, until the chips are crisp and lightly browned, about 10 minutes total.
  4. Meanwhile, toss together the cilantro, cumin, tomato, lime juice, avocado, onion and salt and pepper to taste; set aside.
  5. Sprinkle the black beans, corn, jalapenos and pepper jack evenly over the chips. Return to the oven and bake just until the cheese is melty and hot, about 5 minutes. Sprinkle with the tomato avocado salsa and serve any extra on the side.

Great recipe! Added ground taco meat and used refried beans and fresh jalapeño because that’s what I had. Everyone enjoyed and it felt like a guilty pleasure. Didn’t taste the ranch under all of the toppings, will add more next time.

Very good and feels a bit healthier than usual nachos for sure. I used fresh very thinly sliced jalepeno rather than the jarred ones and grilled fresh corn on the cob, otherwise followed the recipe. The nacho chips were very tasty, make sure to crisp them up well or they will be rubbery.
