Ingredients
1 Roma tomato
1/4 red onion
1 jalapeño
1 15oz. can black beans, rinsed and drained
4 oz. cheddar cheese, shredded
6 large eggs
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 tsp pepper
2 Tbsp butter
1 15oz. bag tortilla chips
1/2 cup sour cream
Instructions
Dice the tomato and red onion. Slice the jalapeño. Rinse and drain the black beans. Shred the cheddar cheese.
Preheat the oven to 350ºF. Whisk together the eggs, salt, and pepper in a large bowl.
Melt the butter in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the whisked eggs and gently stir and fold until the eggs are mostly set, but still slightly wet (they'll finish cooking in the oven).
Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup. Spread half of the tortilla chips over the surface of the baking sheet, then top with half of the eggs, half of the black beans, and half of the shredded cheese.
Repeat with a second layer of chips, eggs, beans, and cheese.
Bake the nachos in the preheated oven for 5-7 minutes, or until the cheese is melted.
Remove the nachos from the oven and top with the remaining fresh ingredients: tomato, onion, jalapeño, and sour cream. Serve hot.
Key Points About Ingredients:
- Roma tomatoes add bright, fresh acidity that balances the richness of the eggs and cheese without releasing too much excess moisture onto the chips.
- Jalapeño brings a gentle heat that wakes up the palate — remove the seeds and membranes for a milder kick, or leave them in for extra fire.
- Black beans provide a hearty dose of plant-based protein and fiber, making these nachos surprisingly filling and nutritionally well-rounded.
- Pulling the scrambled eggs off the heat while still slightly wet is key — they finish cooking in the oven and stay tender rather than rubbery.
- Layering the nachos in two tiers ensures every chip gets a fair share of eggs, beans, and cheese for maximum flavor in every bite.
Key Nutritional Insights:
- Each serving delivers a substantial protein punch from the combination of eggs, black beans, and cheddar cheese — ideal for a sustaining morning meal.
- Black beans contribute significant dietary fiber, supporting digestive health and helping you feel fuller for longer after breakfast.
- Eggs are one of nature's most complete foods, providing high-quality protein along with choline, which is important for brain health and function.
- Cheddar cheese adds a good source of calcium and phosphorus, both essential for maintaining strong bones and teeth.
- Using butter in moderation to cook the eggs adds richness and fat-soluble vitamins without overwhelming the overall fat content of the dish.
