Ultimate Nachos


Serves 4
1 (13 1/2-ounce) bag store-bought large tortilla chips
1 cup refried beans
3/4 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese
3/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1/2 cup chopped pickled jalapeno chiles
1 jalapeno chile, seeded, ribs removed, and minced
1/2 cup canned sliced black olives
Fresh cilantro leaves
Chili sauce or hot-pepper sauce
Chopped tomatoes, for serving (optional)
Sour cream, for serving (optional)
Directions
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Top each chip with about 1 teaspoon beans and 1 1/2 teaspoons cheese; evenly divide chiles and olives among tortilla chips. Transfer to an ovenproof serving platter, forming layers; add chili sauce.
Bake until heated through and cheese melts, 3 to 5 minutes. Remove, and garnish with cilantro leaves. Serve immediately topped with tomatoes and sour cream, if desired.
