- 1 ripe beefsteak tomato, chopped
- 1/2 white onion, diced
- 1 jalapeno chili, minced
- 1/2 can black beans, rinsed
- 1 large bag tortilla chips
- 1/4 pound grana padano or other hard grating cheese
- 1/3 pound raw cheddar cheese
- 1/3 pound Swiss cheese such as Gruyere or Emmenthaler
- 1/4 pound triple cream soft-ripened cows milk cheese, such as brie or Camembert
- 1 bunch cilantro
- 1/2 avocado
- 2 lime wedges
Method
- In a medium mixing bowl, combine the tomato, onion, jalapeno and black beans and mix thoroughly.
- Drain the mixture thoroughly to get rid of any excess moisture or your chips will be soggy.
- Grate the Grana Padano, cheddar and Swiss using a microplane and mix them together.
- Break the triple cream apart using your fingers or a spoon into roughly teaspoon-sized blobs.
- Add to the cheese mixture.
- Wash and pat dry the cilantro.
- Remove the leaves from the stems, then roughly chop the rest of the cilantro leaves.
- Add the cilantro to the tomato mixture.
- Preheat the broiler to high (or 500 F if youre able to set the temperature on your broiler).
- Line the bottom of an 8 x 11'' baking dish with a layer of tortilla chips.
- Line a baking sheet with a silicone baking mat or aluminum foil and add a layer of tortilla chips to that.
- Add a third of the tomato mixture to the baking sheet and a third to the baking dish.
- Add half of the cheese mixture to each.
- Put the baking dish under the broiler until the cheese is bubbling and starting to turn golden brown; watch carefully as it broils, since the uncovered chips can burn easily.
- Remove from the oven and put the baking sheet under the broiler until the cheese is bubbling and starting to turn golden brown, then remove from oven.
- Chop the avocado now.
- Top the nachos from the baking dish with the nachos from the baking sheet, using a spatula to help you.
- Top the finished nachos with the remaining tomato mixture and avocado.
- Garnish with cilantro leaves and serve with lime wedges.
