Ingredients

2 cups water

½ cup black beans (optional)

Pinch of salt

Non-stick spray or butter

3 60g Cornitos Nacho Chips (Flavour of your choice)

1½ cups shredded white cheese

⅓ cup corn kernels

Method

1. Bring 2 cups of water to a simmer over medium to high heat. Once the water starts to heat up, switch to low heat. Cook the black beans on low heat until the beans are tender, add a pinch of salt for taste while the beans cook. This may take up to 1 hour. Drain the black beans and set aside for your nachos.
   
2. Preheat the oven to 180°C. Use non-stick spray or butter to lightly grease your baking dish.
3. Distribute Cornitos Nacho Chips in an even spread across the prepared baking dish. Now, top it with cheese, corn, tomato, avocado, black beans and cucumber.
4. Place the tray in the oven and bake for about 10 minutes or until the cheese has melted.
5. Garnish with jalapeños and serve immediately.

Tip

There is no right or wrong way to make nachos, so, have fun with toppings! Switch up jalapenos with chillis, black beans with baked beans, add salsa and sour cream, the options are endless.
