Ingredients

  • 6 big handfuls tortilla chips
  • 2 big handfuls shredded Mexican cheese
  • 1 15-oz can black beans drained well
  • 1 10-oz can Rotel Tomatoes with Green Chilis drained well, can also use Pico de Gallo
  • Optional toppings: cilantro, sour cream, lime juice

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Nachos: Set a cast iron Dutch Oven over hot coals or elevated over a low-burning fire. Layer in chips > cheese > chips > cheese. Set the lid on it and cook until cheese is melted, about 10 minutes.
  2. Toppings: Sprinkle on well-drained beans and Rotel tomatoes. Keep the lid off and continue cooking for about a minute, just to heat the toppings up*.
  3. Serve immediately, topped with your favorites (the tomatoes will make the chips soggy if left on too long, so you can add those right before serving if you don't plan on digging in immediately).

Notes

  • *Adding these toppings at the very end of the cooking process prevents the chips from becoming soggy, in my experience!
  • How To Store Leftovers: To be honest? Don’t. Nachos are at their best right off the fire. If you do end up with leftovers (rare), wrap them in foil and reheat over the fire—but expect softer chips.
