Loaded Black Bean Nachos

Whether you are making a party platter, hungry for a late night snack, or trying to satisfy your midday cravings, nachos are always the answer! Just like when building a house, you have to start with a strong foundation, so frying your own tortilla chips is the way to go. I like to top it off with some homemade refried beans that are a little spicy and smokey from the chipotles in adobo. After the beans, I top it off with all the classics, corn, pico de gallo, sliced radishes, jalapeno, cilantro, and scallions. Each bite is packed with tons of delicious flavors and textures!
