Step by Step

Let's Make Magic

1

Preheat & Prep

Preheat oven to 375°F. Spread Traditional Mitten Chips in a single layer on a large rimmed baking sheet.

Use a rimmed sheet to catch any cheese drips
2

Layer the Base

Warm the refried beans and spread dollops evenly over the chip layer. This creates a hearty foundation that holds everything together.

Warming the beans first makes them easier to spread
3

Add the Cheese

Cover generously with shredded cheddar cheese. Don't be shy — game day nachos need serious cheese coverage.

Mix cheddar and Monterey Jack for extra flavor
4

Bake to Perfection

Bake 5-7 minutes until cheese is fully melted and bubbly. Watch carefully to avoid burning the chip edges.

Broil for 1 minute at the end for crispy cheese edges

Top & Serve

Remove from oven. Top with sour cream, jalapeños, diced tomatoes, cilantro, and green onions. Serve immediately while hot and melty!
