Chips

Refried Beans

Guacamole

Sour Cream

Roasted Tomato Salsa

Method

Chips

  1. 1

    Make the Chips

    Cut the corn tortillas into triangles. Heat the vegetable oil in a large frying pan over medium heat. Fry the tortilla pieces in batches until golden and crispy, about 3-4 minutes per batch. Remove from oil and drain on paper towels. Sprinkle with salt while still hot.

Refried Beans

  1. 2

    Prepare the Refried Beans

    In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and cook until translucent. Add the minced garlic and cumin, cooking for another minute. Stir in the canned pinto beans and a bit of water if necessary. Cook until heated through, then mash slightly with a fork, leaving some whole for texture. Season with salt.

Guacamole

  1. 3

    Make the Guacamole

    In a bowl, mash the avocados with a fork. Stir in lime juice, chopped cilantro, and salt. Adjust seasoning to taste.

Roasted Tomato Salsa

  1. 4

    Prepare the Roasted Tomato Salsa

    Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). On a baking sheet, combine halved tomatoes, quartered onion, and whole garlic cloves. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with salt. Roast for 20-25 minutes until softened and slightly charred. Let cool slightly, then blend with cilantro and lime juice until desired consistency is reached.

Assembly

  1. 5

    Assemble the Nachos

    On a large platter, layer the homemade chips, spoon over the refried beans, add dollops of guacamole and sour cream, and finish with a generous serving of the roasted tomato salsa. Serve immediately.
