Ingredients
- ½ pound Roma Tomatoes
- 1 red onion
- 1 jalapeño
- 2 cloves garlic
- ½ tablespoon olive oil
- ¼ cup cilantro
- 2 medium ears sweet corn
- 1-2 jalapeños
- ½ tablespoon olive oil
- 2 teaspoons honey
- ¼ teaspoon red chili flakes
- Juice from ½ lime
- *
- 1 cup freshly grated cheddar cheese
- 1 cup freshly grated Monterey Jack Cheese
- 1 tablespoon arrowroot starch (or corn starch)
- ½ cup 2% or whole milk
- 1 teaspoon ancho chili powder
- ½ teaspoon smoked paprika
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- 2-3 handfuls chips
- ½ cup black beans
- 1-2 avocados, cut into chunks
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 450˚.
- Slice tomatoes in half, chunk onion, and dice jalapeño and garlic for tomato sauce. Toss with olive oil and place in a single layer in a large baking dish or sheet tray with sides. Roast until tomatoes are tender and beginning to char, 30-45 minutes. Let cool slightly and place in food processor. Add cilantro and lime juice and run until combined.
- Remove husk and silk from corn. Carefully remove corn from cob, using a sharp knife, cutting down the cob. Dice jalapeño into small piece. Heat olive oil in over medium heat in a skillet and add sweet corn and jalapeño. Cook until corn begins to pop, 5-6 minutes. Stir in honey, chili flakes, and lime juice. Continue to cook for 1-2 more minutes. Set aside.
- In a sauce pan, toss together cheeses and starch. Turn on heat to low and stir cheese until it starts to melt. Add 1/4 cup of milk and continue to stir until cheese turns into sauce, adding more milk as needed to reach nacho cheese consistency. Add in chili powder, paprika, and garlic powder.
- To assemble nachos, place chips in a bowl and pour nachos cheese on top. Sprinkle avocado chunks and black beans, then salsa, and finish with the corn. Sprinkle with a bit of extra cilantro.
