Ingredients

Scale
  • Thick, sturdy tortilla chips (e.g., Mission brand)
  • 1 can (15 oz / 425 g) black beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1½ cups (170 g) shredded sharp cheddar or Mexican blend cheese
  • ½ cup finely chopped red onion
  • Sliced jalapeños, fresh or pickled, to taste
  • 1 cup halved cherry tomatoes
  • ¼ cup sliced green onions
  • Chopped cilantro (optional)
  • Honey mustard sauce:
  • 3 tbsp honey
  • 3 tbsp Dijon mustard
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice or apple cider vinegar
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • Spices for black beans: 1 tsp cumin, 1 tsp smoked paprika, ½ tsp garlic powder, salt and pepper to taste
  • Sour cream or Greek yogurt for topping
  • Optional extras: sliced avocado, black olives, crumbled queso fresco

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Heat a drizzle of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add black beans, cumin, smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Cook for 5–7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until warmed through and fragrant.
  3. In a small bowl, whisk together honey, Dijon mustard, lemon juice or apple cider vinegar, and olive oil until smooth. Adjust sweetness or tang to taste.
  4. Spread a generous layer of tortilla chips on a baking sheet or oven-safe dish. Evenly distribute the warm black beans over the chips.
  5. Sprinkle shredded cheese over the beans, then add chopped red onions, sliced jalapeños, halved cherry tomatoes, and sliced green onions.
  6. Bake in the preheated oven for 10–12 minutes until cheese is melted and bubbly and chips are golden brown at the edges.
  7. Remove from oven and drizzle honey mustard sauce over the top. Add a dollop of sour cream or Greek yogurt, sprinkle chopped cilantro, and add optional toppings like sliced avocado or black olives.
  8. Serve immediately while hot and fresh.

Notes

Use thick-cut tortilla chips to prevent sogginess. Warm and season the beans before layering to ensure flavor throughout. Drizzle honey mustard sauce after baking to preserve its bright flavor. For vegan version, use vegan cheese, plant-based sour cream, and replace honey with agave or maple syrup. To keep chips crispy, add a fresh layer halfway through baking or serve extra chips on the side.
