Hey y’all, it’s me again, Allyson from Domestic Superhero. I am super excited to share this amazing recipe with Shannah’s readers today!
For the last 2 years or so, my husband and I have a great Sunday night tradition – nachos. Now, we don’t eat them every Sunday, but when we do, it’s a joyous evening. We started making them when we would watch Game of Thrones on Sunday night, and it slowly became our thing. When I was pregnant last year, nothing was getting between me and my Sunday night nachos, but now in the last year or so, it’s not such a regular occurrence. However, when I do make nachos, I do it right. Layer upon layer of chips covered in delicious cheese and fresh ingredients. When I was putting together this post for the Just Us Four readers, I knew I had to step up my game…in came the Jalapeno Ranch. Jalapeno Ranch is awesomely delicious, and I knew putting it on top of these nachos would be a hit. Of course, everyone loved the Jalapeno Ranch Black Bean Loaded Nachos.
Seriously, these bad boys are full of fresh vegetables – tomatoes, green onions, jalapenos – and then smothered in 2 different types of cheese and black black beans. Then, as if not already delicious, the jalapeno ranch is drizzled (or dumped, whichever you prefer) on top, and seriously takes it to the next level. A foodgasm is coming your way.
Get the recipe for the Jalapeno Ranch over on Domestic Superhero.
These Jalapeno Ranch Black Bean Loaded Nachos are totally vegetarian, so great for a meatless Monday or party dish, but, if you absolutely cannot go without the meat, add some shredded chicken, it would be great with these ingredients. I have also found that baking my nachos in a cast iron skillet really helps keep them warm longer, and it is a cute way to serve them – cast iron is all the rage these days. Definitely make these when you have at least a few people who are around to eat them, otherwise, you may end up eating them all- they are that good.
- 1 bag tortilla chips
- 1 cup shredded colby jack cheese
- 1 cup shredded monterey jack cheese
- 1 jalapeno, chopped or diced
- 2 large tomatoes, diced
- 5 green onions, chopped
- 1 can black beans, rinsed and drained
- 1/4 cup jalapeno ranch (recipe above in post)
- Heat oven to 425 degrees F. Place beans in a microwave safe bowl and cook for 1 minutes, stirring after 30 seconds.
- Using a baking sheet or large cast iron skillet, add a thin layer of chips to cover the bottom of the pan. Sprinkle about 1/4 cup of each cheese on top. Add 1/3 of the beans.
- Add another layer of chips, 1/4 cup of each cheese, 1/3 of the beans, and 1/2 of the tomatoes.
- Add another layer of chips (this is the top layer), 1/4 cup of each cheese, the remaining beans, tomatoes, jalapenos, and half of the green onions. Cover the top with the remaining cheese and green onions.
- Place in oven and bake for 8-12 minutes, or until cheese is melted and chips are starting to slightly brown. Remove from oven and top with jalapeno ranch. Serve immediately.
- If you do add chicken to this, I would add it with the layers, probably under the cheese (this helps it stick to the chips).

Thanks for stopping by, Cathy!
Yum! These look seriously amazing.
There is a restaurant in Amarillo, Tx called Abuelas, and they serve jalapeno ranch dressing as a dipping sauce for tortilla chips. I have been hooked on the stuff ever since. I can’t wait to try these nachos (and I’ll be trying them soon!)
