What You'll Need
Let's Make Magic
Preheat & Prep
Preheat oven to 375°F. Spread Traditional Mitten Chips in a single layer on a large rimmed baking sheet.
Layer the Base
Warm the refried beans and spread dollops evenly over the chip layer. This creates a hearty foundation that holds everything together.
Add the Cheese
Cover generously with shredded cheddar cheese. Don't be shy — game day nachos need serious cheese coverage.
Bake to Perfection
Bake 5-7 minutes until cheese is fully melted and bubbly. Watch carefully to avoid burning the chip edges.
Top & Serve
Remove from oven. Top with sour cream, jalapeños, diced tomatoes, cilantro, and green onions. Serve immediately while hot and melty!
