Execution Timeline

10 SEQUENTIAL TIMED STEPS

1PREPARE THE SALSA VEGETABLES
8 MIN

Combine the finely diced tomato, onion, jalapeño, and chopped coriander leaves in a bowl, then stir in the lime juice and salt.

2REST THE SALSA
15 MIN

Let the salsa sit at room temperature so the flavors meld and the tomato releases its juices into the mixture.

Tip: The salsa should look noticeably juicier and less sharp-tasting after resting
3PREHEAT THE OVEN
5 MIN

Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F) so it is fully hot before the nachos go in.

4ARRANGE THE TORTILLA CHIPS
3 MIN

Spread the tortilla chips in a single, slightly overlapping layer across a large oven-safe baking tray.

5LAYER THE BEANS AND CORN
4 MIN

Scatter the cooked black beans and corn kernels evenly over the tortilla chips so every chip gets some topping.

6ADD THE CHEESE
3 MIN

Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese generously and evenly over the entire tray of chips.

7BAKE THE NACHOS
8 MIN

Bake the tray in the preheated oven until the cheese is fully melted, bubbling, and lightly golden at the edges.

Tip: Watch closely after the 6-minute mark — the cheese can go from bubbling to burnt quickly
8ADD THE SOUR CREAM AND GUACAMOLE
3 MIN

While the nachos are still hot, dollop the sour cream and guacamole over the top in small spoonfuls.

9TOP WITH SALSA
3 MIN

Spoon the rested salsa evenly over the nachos and scatter any remaining sliced jalapeño and coriander leaves on top.

10SERVE IMMEDIATELY
1 MIN

Serve the nachos right away while the chips are still crisp and the cheese is hot.

Tip: Nachos turn soggy fast once the salsa and sour cream are added, so serve without delay
