Chipotle Black Bean Nachos
Description
The Chipotle Black Bean Nachos start with a base of sturdy tortilla chips on a baking tray, layered with salsa and a mix of two melting cheeses. The chipotle black bean stew provides a smoky and spicy richness that is distributed evenly over the chips. When baked, the cheese melts into a cohesive topping that clings to the chips and beans.
After baking, the nachos are garnished with creamy mashed avocado and a dollop of crème fraîche, which temper the heat and add coolness. Jalapeños introduce additional spiciness adjusted to taste. The textures contrast between crisp chips and the soft, saucy bean stew and cheeses.
This dish serves well as a social appetizer or a casual meal. The recipe suggests using thick tortilla chips to support the heavy toppings. Baking on lined foil or parchment helps with cleanup. If desired, blending some black bean stew produces a refried bean consistency. Leftover chili makes a flavorful dip to accompany the nachos.
