Preparation

  1. Pico de Gallo

    Step 1

    Combine tomatoes, onion, jalapeño, and vinegar in a medium bowl. Season with salt and pepper and let sit at least 1 hour. Stir in cilantro and oregano just before serving.

  2. Black Beans

    Step 2

    Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add onion, garlic, and jalapeño and cook, stirring often, until softened, about 3 minutes. Transfer onion mixture to a food processor and add black beans, lime juice, and ¼ cup water. Season with salt and pepper and process until smooth.

  3. Tomatillo Avocado Salsa

    Step 3

    Combine tomatillos, avocado, cilantro, jalapeño, and lime juice in a food processor and purée until mostly smooth. Season with salt and pepper.

  4. Chips and Assembly

    Step 4

    Preheat oven to 425°. Arrange half of chips on a 9½-by-13” foil-lined rimmed baking sheet. Top with half of beans, then half of each cheese. Repeat layering with remaining chips, beans, and cheese. Bake until cheese is melted and bubbling, about 5 minutes. Serve nachos topped with tomatillo avocado salsa, pico de gallo, sliced jalapeño, and radishes.

  • These were awesome! Made for a late we-don't-really-do-valentines-day fun dinner. The green salsa is amazing - what a great way to use an avocado! keeps really well from the acidic tomatillos and lime without getting even a tiny bit brown. Plenty of extras of everything - I bought some tortillas and have been using the leftovers to make some killer breakfast tacos this week.
