directions
- Beforehand and if desired, make Homemade Tortilla Chips (#4328), seasoning them lightly before baking with Adobo or salt, if desired.
- Beforehand, prepare charred corn as follows: warm 1 tsp oil in large skillet (preferably nonstick) over medium-high heat. When hot, dump in onion & corn. Stir to mix, then cook in single undisturbed layer for about 4 to 5 minutes, or until lightly charred. Stir again & cook in a single layer for another 3 minutes, or until the kernels range from golden to charred. Season lightly with Adobo or salt if desired. Let cool slightly before using.
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
- To make nachos, assemble as follows: first, apply a generous, flat layer of refried beans to each tortilla chip.
- Next, spoon on some charred corn, pressing it gently into the refried beans to help it adhere.
- Lightly sprinkle grated cheese on top.
- Bake nachos for 5 to 7 minutes, until cheese is melted & bubbly.
- Garnish nachos with jalapenos if desired & plenty of cilantro leaves.
