I don’t think I’ve ever met anyone who didn’t like nachos. Even the pickiest kids are usually totally cool with chips covered in cheese. Thus, nachos may just be the perfect dish to bring to a party – and a cookout is no different because they also can be made on the grill.

I love making a big, loaded up tray for our family for dinner, but a nacho bar would be such a fun idea for a cookout! You could set up all the ingredients separately and use loaf pans for individual servings. Write names on the foil covering to keep track of everyone’s custom orders!

• Recipe for Grilled Nachos

Ingredients

• 1 bag tortilla chips
• 3 cups shredded cheddar cheese, divided
• 1 can black beans, drained and rinsed
• 1/3 cup diced red onion
• 1 Roma tomato, seeded and diced
• 1 small can black olives, drained
• 1/4 cup pickled jalapeno slices
• 1 bunch green onions, diced
• 1/3 cup sour cream

I’ve included the measurements I use here. These are my favorite nacho toppings but I’m fully in favor of you customizing these to your personal taste! If you heart wants something on your nachos, go for it!

Directions

• Preheat the grill to medium heat.
• Place the chips evenly in a disposable pan. Sprinkle evenly with 2 cups of shredded cheddar cheese.
• Top evenly with black beans, red onion, tomato, olives, jalapenos, and green onions.
• Sprinkle evenly with remaining cheese.
• Cover pain with foil.
• Grill for 5-10 minutes, until the cheese is melted.
• Top with sour cream and serve.

There is a sweet spot to cooking nachos on the grill. You want the cheesy to be melty and the whole thing to be warmed, but you don’t want to leave it on the grill long enough for the chips to start to toast. It goes faster than you think!
