- 1 cup shredded cheese
- 1/2 cup salsa

- 1/4 cup chopped cilantro
Instructions

- Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the cheese is completely melted and slightly bubbly.
- Remove from oven and let cool for 2-3 minutes to prevent burning.

Tips
- For extra crispy nachos, choose thick, sturdy tortilla chips that can handle the bean and cheese load.
- Rinse black beans thoroughly to reduce sodium and improve digestibility.
- Spread ingredients evenly to ensure every chip gets maximum flavor coverage.
- Use freshly shredded cheese for better melting and more authentic taste.
- Watch nachos closely in the oven to prevent burning - 10-12 minutes is the sweet spot.
- Serve immediately after adding fresh toppings to maintain optimal temperature and texture.
- For a spicier version, add jalapeños or hot sauce before baking.
- Experiment with different cheese blends like pepper jack or a Mexican cheese mix.
