Step 1

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).

In a medium skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the black beans, ground cumin, chili powder, salt, and pepper. Cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the beans are warm and coated with the spices. Set aside.

Step 5

Layer the seasoned black beans over the cheese, then sprinkle on the red onions, jalapeño slices, and diced tomatoes.

Step 6

Top with the remaining cheese, ensuring it is evenly distributed.

Step 7

Place the nachos in the oven and bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the cheese is fully melted and bubbly.

Carefully remove the nachos from the oven and let cool for 1-2 minutes.

Step 9

Garnish with fresh cilantro, diced avocado, and dollops of sour cream. Serve with lime wedges on the side for an extra squeeze of freshness.
