Prep time: 10 mins | Cook time: 10 mins | Servings: 4–6

Ingredients

• 1 bag Zack's Mighty Tortilla Chips
• 2 cups shredded cheese (Cheddar & Monterey Jack blend)
• 1 can (15 oz) pinto or black beans, rinsed and drained
• 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
• 1/2 cup black olives, sliced
• 1/3 cup pickled jalapeño slices
• 1 ripe avocado, diced
• 1/2 cup sour cream (or Mexican crema)
• Fresh cilantro leaves, for garnish

Instructions

1. Preheat & Layer: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). In a large cast-iron skillet, arrange half of the tortilla chips. Top evenly with half of the beans and half of the shredded cheese. Add a second layer with the remaining chips, beans, and cheese.
2. Bake & Melt: Place the skillet in the oven and bake for 8 to 10 minutes, until the cheese is completely melted and bubbly.
3. Add Fresh Veggies: Carefully remove the hot skillet from the oven. Scatter the halved cherry tomatoes, sliced black olives, pickled jalapeños, and diced avocado across the melted cheese layer.
4. Garnish & Serve: Top with dollops of fresh sour cream and a handful of cilantro leaves. Serve immediately straight from the skillet while hot and melty!
