Steps
Steps
- 1Heat the oven to 200°C.
- 2Toss the beans with the cumin and salt, crushing a few with a fork so they cling to the chips.
- 3Spread half the chips over a large ovenproof tray in an even layer and scatter with half the beans, half the cheddar and half the jalapeños.
- 4Repeat with the rest of the chips, beans, cheddar and jalapeños. Layering means every chip catches some cheese, not just the top ones.
- 5Bake for 8–10 minutes, until the cheese has melted and the edges of the chips are toasted.
- 6Spoon over the salsa, add dollops of guacamole and soured cream and scatter with the spring onions and coriander.
- 7Serve at once on the tray with the lime wedges; nachos turn soggy within minutes.
