Chorizo & Bean Baked Nachos

Working from home means meal planning is a big part of life. I juggle going out, big-time cooking, and simple and quick. That last one is where this recipe comes into play. I had the opportunity to try out the new Herdez® Instant Refried Beans and was beyond curious!

Instant beans, really? If these tasted good, they would fit perfectly with my quick meal ideas!

What sold me was that they are made by Herdez. Any other brand, I wouldn’t have even considered it, but Herdez is legit when it comes to Mexican food. From salsas to sauces, tortilla chips to canned chiles – I’ve always used Herdez in my family recipes. Green light on trying the instant beans! I love that they even have a variety of flavors – Traditional, Jalapeno, Chorizo and Queso. And that they sent me samples of each!

We do a lot of Latin-themed cooking and eating in this house and refried beans are a main staple. I tried the traditional version of these and was pleasantly surprised! All you need is a sauce pan, water, a stove and five minutes. Once they are cooked, you can customize them to your liking. Growing up, my mom would always add milk to make her refried beans smooth and creamy. My mom-in-law adds in lots and lots of cheese! Or you can leave as-is and be good to go.

Frijoles con todo!

I’m happy to have these as a main staple in my pantry. Yes, we’ll still have a bag of old school beans to slow cook, but these definitely qualify as a speedy way to get yummy refried beans for breakfast, burritos, tostadas… or NACHOS!

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.

Prepare the beans by pouring 1-1/2 cups of water in a sauce pan. Let it come to a boil, then add the bag of Herdez Instant Beans. Stir, then reduce heat to low and stir and simmer for five minutes.

Line the casserole dish with the chips, then add the beans evenly.

Add other toppings, you can either add them now or serve the nachos on small plates and let people pick and choose what they want on top.
