Prep time: 10 minutes
Cook time: 15-20 minutes
Total time: 25-30 minutes

Ingredients:

1. Tortilla chips
2. 1 can black beans, drained and rinsed
3. 1 large tomato, diced
4. 1 small red onion, finely chopped
5. 1-2 jalapeños, sliced (depending on how much kick you want)
6. Shredded cheese (your choice, but cheddar or Monterey Jack works wonders)
7. Fresh coriander, chopped
8. Sour cream (or Greek yogurt for a healthier twist)
9. 1 lime, cut into wedges

Instructions:

1. Prep your campfire so it’s got a nice, steady flame going. If you’ve got a grill grate, even better. If not, no stress, just rake a small bed of coals off to the side.
2. In a cast-iron Dutch oven or any campfire-proof dish you have on hand, lay down a base of tortilla chips.
3. Sprinkle a generous amount of black beans, diced tomatoes, chopped onions, and jalapeños over the chips.
4. Slap on a hearty handful (or three) of shredded cheese.
5. If you’re feeling fancy, you can layer it up! Add another layer of chips and toppings until your skillet is looking full and mighty tasty.
6. Place the skillet over the coals. If you’re a gear junky now’s the time to talk yourself into a campfire tripod to suspend your dutch-oven above the flames.
7. Cook those nachos for about 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is all melty and golden. Keep an eye on it; don’t let those chips burn!
8. Once done, pull it off the fire (carefully!), and sprinkle some fresh coriander over the top. Squeeze a bit of lime, and dollop on some sour cream.
9. Dive in while it’s hot!
