    FAQ

    Don't overcrowd your nachos. Add an even layer into your baking tray. First, add the tortilla chips, then the chicken, followed by the black beans and cheese. Then after baking, add the tomato, onion, jalapeno, coriander, and sour cream.

    What temperature should nachos be cooked at?

    For this recipe, you should cook nachos at 400º F ( 200º C).

    Do you put sour cream on nachos before cooking?

    You should put sour cream on nachos after cooking, just before you're ready to serve them.

    How long should you put nachos in the oven for?

    Place the nachos into the oven and bake until the cheeses have melted. This process is very quick and should take between 5 and 8 minutes.

    Tips for making this recipe

    • Don't overbake the nachos: You want your nachos to be super cheesy, and the cheese will dry out if you overbake. It will take just 5 to 8 minutes.
    • Ensure you buy the correct type of cheese: You need to add cheese that melts very quickly. For example, use cheddar cheese and mozzarella cheese.
    • Layer evenly: It’s not fun when all the topping ingredients are gone from the top, and you’re left with a pile of naked tortilla chips, so ensure you layer the nachos evenly.
