Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 1 bag (10–12 oz) sturdy tortilla chips
- 1 ½ cups shredded Mexican blend or cheddar cheese
- 1 cup cooked and seasoned ground beef or shredded chicken
- ½ cup canned black beans, drained and rinsed
- ½ cup corn (fresh, canned, or thawed from frozen)
- ½ cup diced tomatoes
- ½ cup diced red onion
- ¼ cup pickled jalapeños (optional)
- 1 teaspoon taco seasoning
- 2 tablespoons chopped cilantro (optional)
- Cooking spray
For Serving
- Sour cream
- Guacamole or sliced avocado
- Salsa or pico de gallo
- Lime wedges
Instructions
- Preheat and Prepare Pan: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Generously grease a standard Bundt pan with cooking spray to ensure the nachos don’t stick after baking.
- Season and Layer: In a large bowl, gently toss the tortilla chips with taco seasoning to add extra flavor. Begin layering ingredients in the Bundt pan starting with a handful of seasoned chips, followed by a sprinkle of shredded cheese, then a spoonful of the cooked meat, black beans, corn, diced tomatoes, onions, and jalapeños. Continue repeating these layers until all the ingredients are used, finishing with a final layer of cheese on top.
- Bake the Nachos: Place the Bundt pan in the preheated oven and bake for 15–20 minutes, or until the cheese is fully melted, golden, and bubbling on top, indicating the nachos are heated through and ready.
- Cool and Invert: Allow the nachos to cool for about 5 minutes outside the oven. Then put a large plate or serving platter over the top of the pan and carefully invert it to release the nacho ring onto the plate, creating a visually striking presentation.
- Garnish and Serve: Sprinkle chopped cilantro over the top if desired. Serve the nacho ring with bowls of sour cream, guacamole, salsa, and lime wedges in the center for dipping, making it a perfect party centerpiece.
Notes
- For a vegetarian option, omit the meat and increase the amount of beans and veggies.
- If you prefer spicier nachos, add extra jalapeños or a dash of hot sauce to the layers.
- Use a sturdy tortilla chip variety to ensure the chips hold up well to layering and baking.
- Letting the nachos cool slightly before inverting helps the ring keep its shape better.
- Leftovers can be stored covered in the refrigerator and reheated in the oven for best texture.
