Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb Large shrimp (peeled, deveined)
- 12 oz Tortilla chips
- 2 tbsp Olive oil
- 2 cloves Garlic (minced)
- 1 tsp Ground cumin
- 1 tsp Paprika
- 1 cup Black beans (rinsed and drained)
- 2 cups Mexican blend cheese (shredded)
- 1 Avocado (diced)
- 2 Tomatoes (diced)
- 2 tbsp Cilantro (chopped)
- 1 Jalapeño (sliced, seeds removed for less heat, optional)
- 1 Lime (cut into wedges)
- 1 cup Sour cream
- 2 tbsp Mayonnaise
- 1 tbsp Lime juice (freshly squeezed)
- 1 tsp Hot sauce (optional)
- 0.5 tsp Salt
- 0.25 tsp Black pepper
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a medium bowl, combine the shrimp with olive oil, minced garlic, ground cumin, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Toss to coat the shrimp evenly in the spices.
Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and cook the shrimp for 2-3 minutes on each side until they are pink and cooked through. Remove from heat and set aside.
Spread the tortilla chips in an even layer on a large baking sheet or oven-safe platter.
Sprinkle the black beans over the tortilla chips, followed by an even layer of shredded Mexican blend cheese.
Place the shrimp evenly across the chips and toppings.
Bake in the preheated oven for 7-10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
While the nachos are baking, prepare the Baja sauce. In a small bowl, whisk together sour cream, mayonnaise, lime juice, hot sauce (if using), and a pinch of salt.
Remove the nachos from the oven and top with diced avocado, tomatoes, cilantro, and sliced jalapeños (if desired).
Drizzle the Baja sauce over the nachos and serve immediately with lime wedges on the side for an extra pop of citrus.
