We’ll admit it; we love nachos. They’re not the greatest for us, but they are an excellent treat! These are more complicated than just getting a bag of grocery story nacho chips and putting in the oven with cheese. We are making chips, which, trust me, takes these to another level!

- Vegetable oil, for frying
- 10 soft corn tortillas, cut in half
- Kosher salt
- 1⁄4 cups refried black beans
- 1 medium shallot or 1⁄4 red onion, minced
- 1⁄2 cup shredded orange cheddar cheese (1 1⁄2 oz.)
- 1⁄2 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese (1 1⁄2 oz.)

In a large, high-rimmed skillet, add enough vegetable oil to reach 1 inch up the sides of the pan. Set over high heat until a deep-fry thermometer reads 350°. Working in batches as needed to avoid overcrowding, add the tortillas and fry, turning once, until crisp but not browned, about 30 seconds on each side. Remove, transfer to the prepared tray, and season with salt.
Meanwhile, preheat the broiler. On a large baking sheet lined with foil or parchment paper, place the chips in a single layer. Spread each chip with a thin layer of refried beans and sprinkle them with half of the shallot. Top with the cheddar and Jack cheeses, then the queso fresco. Garnish with the pickled jalapeños and the remaining shallot.
