Cheesy Bean Nacho Bites
Ingredients:
- Round Tortilla Chips
- 1 can (16 oz) Refried Beans
- 2 cups Mexican Shredded Cheese (or your favorite cheese blend)
- Optional toppings: diced tomatoes, sliced olives, jalapeños, sour cream, guacamole, salsa, cilantro, etc.
Instructions:
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius).
- Prepare the Baking Sheet: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it to prevent the nachos from sticking.
- Assemble the Nachos:
- Lay out the round tortilla chips evenly on the prepared baking sheet.
- Spoon a dollop of refried beans onto each chip. You can spread it slightly to cover the chip.
- Add the Cheese:
- Sprinkle a generous amount of shredded cheese over the refried beans on each chip. Make sure the cheese is evenly distributed for melty perfection.
- Optional Toppings:
- If you desire additional toppings, like diced tomatoes, sliced olives, or jalapeños, sprinkle them over the cheesy nachos.
- Bake:
- Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 5-7 minutes or until the cheese is fully melted and bubbly. Keep an eye on them to avoid burning.
- Serve:
- Carefully remove the nachos from the oven. Let them cool for a minute before serving.
- Optional Folding:
- If you prefer, you can fold the cheesy bean-covered chips into little tacos. Simply pick up each chip, fold it in half, and enjoy your mini taco.
