Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 cups (about 180 g) sturdy tortilla chips
  • 1 can (15 ounces / 425 g) black beans, drained and rinsed
  • 2 cups (200 g) shredded sharp cheddar or cheddar and Monterey Jack blend
  • 1/4 cup (60 ml) honey mustard sauce (homemade or store-bought)
  • 2–3 green onions, thinly sliced
  • Sliced jalapeños, fresh or pickled (optional)
  • 1 cup (150 g) cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1 ripe avocado, diced (optional)
  • A handful of chopped cilantro
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
  • Juice of 1 lime
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Drain and rinse the black beans. Toss them in a small bowl with smoked paprika, ground cumin, salt, and pepper.
  3. Spread the tortilla chips evenly on a rimmed baking sheet without overcrowding.
  4. Sprinkle the seasoned black beans evenly over the chips.
  5. Scatter the shredded cheese on top of the beans and chips.
  6. Bake for 8-10 minutes until the cheese is bubbly and slightly golden, watching carefully to avoid burning.
  7. While baking, slice green onions, halve cherry tomatoes, dice avocado, and slice jalapeños if using.
  8. Whisk together honey mustard sauce with a squeeze of fresh lime juice to make the drizzle.
  9. Transfer the baked chips and beans to a large serving bowl or platter.
  10. Top with green onions, cherry tomatoes, jalapeños, avocado, and drizzle with honey mustard sauce.
  11. Garnish with chopped cilantro and an extra squeeze of lime juice.
  12. Serve immediately for best crunch and flavor.

Notes

Use thick-cut tortilla chips to prevent sogginess. Season black beans with smoked paprika and cumin for added flavor. Apply honey mustard drizzle just before serving to keep chips crispy. For vegan option, substitute cheese and honey mustard accordingly. Leftovers can be stored up to 2 days and reheated gently but chips will lose crunch.
