Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups cooked or canned black beans, rinsed and drained
  • 6 cups sturdy tortilla chips
  • 1 ½ cups shredded sharp cheddar or Mexican blend cheese
  • 1 cup diced red bell pepper
  • 3 stalks green onions, thinly sliced
  • 1–2 jalapeños, thinly sliced (optional)
  • A handful chopped cilantro
  • Peanut-Ginger Sauce:
  • ½ cup creamy peanut butter
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce or tamari (gluten-free if needed)
  • 1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger or 1 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • Water to thin sauce as needed
  • 1 lime, juiced
  • Optional extras: diced avocado, sour cream or Greek yogurt, corn kernels, black olives

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together peanut butter, soy sauce, grated ginger, honey, rice vinegar, and sesame oil. Add water 1 tablespoon at a time until sauce is smooth and pourable. Adjust sweetness or tang to taste.
  3. Spread 3 cups of tortilla chips evenly on a baking sheet.
  4. Sprinkle 1 cup black beans, half of the diced red bell pepper, and half of the shredded cheese over the chips.
  5. Repeat layering with remaining chips, black beans, red bell pepper, and cheese, finishing with cheese on top.
  6. Bake for 10-12 minutes until cheese is melted and bubbling and chips are golden brown at edges.
  7. Remove from oven and immediately drizzle peanut-ginger sauce over the nachos.
  8. Sprinkle sliced green onions, jalapeños (if using), and chopped cilantro on top.
  9. Finish with a squeeze of fresh lime juice.
  10. Serve warm with optional extras like diced avocado or a dollop of sour cream or Greek yogurt.

Notes

To keep chips crispy, add peanut-ginger sauce and fresh toppings after baking. Use sturdy chips to prevent sogginess. The peanut-ginger sauce can be made ahead and tastes better after resting. For vegan version, use dairy-free cheese and coconut aminos instead of soy sauce. Reheat leftovers in oven to maintain crispness; avoid microwaving.
