Ingredients:
- 🧀 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- 🍅 1 can (15 oz) Hormel chili with beans
- 🧄 1 clove garlic, minced
- 🌶️ 1 jalapeño, sliced (optional)
- 🥑 1 avocado, diced
- 🧅 1 small red onion, chopped
- 🍋 Juice of 1 lime
- 🌿 Handful of cilantro, chopped
- 🧂 Salt to taste
- 🧄 Freshly ground black pepper to taste
- 🍟 1 bag tortilla chips
Instructions:
- Prepare the Toppings: In a small bowl, combine the diced avocado with lime juice, salt, and black pepper. Gently toss to coat and set aside. This will keep the avocado fresh and add a zesty flavor.
- Cheese Layer: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Spread the tortilla chips evenly across a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese generously over the chips.
- Add the Chili: Open the can of Hormel chili with beans and pour it over the cheese and chips, ensuring even distribution.
- Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for about 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is fully melted and bubbly.
- Garnish: Once out of the oven, top the nachos with minced garlic, sliced jalapeños, chopped red onion, and cilantro. Finish by adding the lime-infused avocado on top.
- Serve: Serve the nachos straight from the baking sheet or transfer to a large platter. Enjoy immediately while the cheese is still warm and gooey.
