EASY CHILI NACHOS



Easy Chili Nachos image

This makes a wonderful quick late-night snack, and it's a great way to use up any leftover chili I freeze some of my chili just to make this recipe --- I sprinkle finely chopped jalapeno peppers on top of second layer of cheese, but that is only optional add them on if you like heat --- all ingredients can be adjusted to suit taste. Prepare a double recipe in two separate pie plates if you are serving more than 6 people. Prep time does not include making the chili --- this is very good!

2 tablespoons neutral vegetable oil, such as grapeseed, plus more for brushing
1/4 cup canned refried beans
1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt, plus more
1 teaspoon ground cumin, plus more for dusting
1/2 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese (about 2.5 ounces)
1 small onion, chopped
2 large garlic cloves, finely chopped
4 cups low-sodium chicken broth
1 (14-ounce) can diced tomatoes, preferably fire-roasted
1 teaspoon finely chopped canned chipotle chiles, plus 1 teaspoon adobo sauce

Steps:

Top with cheese. Return to oven and bake until cheese is melted and browned, about 5 minutes more. Transfer to a cutting board and let cool slightly. Cut each tortilla into 4 wedges to create nachos.

Add onion and tortilla pieces and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened and lightly browned, about 3 minutes. Add garlic and remaining 1 tsp. cumin and cook, stirring, until fragrant, 30-60 seconds. Immediately add broth, tomatoes, chiles and sauce, 1 tsp. salt, and 1/2 tsp. pepper. Cover pot, increase heat to high, and bring to a gentle simmer. Uncover, reduce heat to medium, and add chicken. Gently simmer over medium heat until chicken is cooked through, about 5 minutes.
  • Remove pot from heat. Stir in 2 Tbsp. lime juice. Season with adobo sauce, salt, or pepper, if needed. Ladle soup into bowls. Garnish with nachos, lime wedges, avocado, radish, and cilantro, if using. Season with pepper, if needed, and serve immediately.
