Mmmm… Bacon Chili Cheese Nachos

Directions

1. Preheat the oven to 400 °F and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Heat a saucepan over medium-heat and add the oil. When the oil is shimmering, add the onion, pepper, jalapeño, and garlic, season with a pinch of salt, and cook until the veggies are softened, about 5 - 6 minutes. 
3. Add the chili powder, cumin, oregano, coriander, and cinnamon and cook for 30 seconds, then add the beans, tomatoes, stock, a good pinch of salt and pepper. 
4. Bring to a simmer, then cook for about 10 minutes, stirring, or until thickened. Taste and adjust seasoning as necessary.
5. Arrange the tortilla chips on the prepared baking sheet, dollop over a generous portion of the chili, then add the sliced onion, pepper, and Armstrong Mmmm... Bacon Natural Shredded Cheese, covering the chips well. 
6. Transfer to the oven and bake for about 8 – 10 minutes, or until the cheese is perfectly melted.
7. Top your nachos with your favorite toppings like pico, guacamole, sour cream, pickled jalapeño, fresh cilantro, and serve with lime wedges. Delicious!
