Ingredients
  

6 cups tortilla chips (preferably homemade or store-bought)

1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese

1 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese

1 cup cooked and crumbled chorizo (or breakfast sausage)

1 cup black beans, rinsed and drained

1 cup diced Hatch green chilies (fresh or canned, roasted preferred)

4 large eggs

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 ripe avocado, sliced

½ cup sour cream (or Greek yogurt)

¼ cup fresh cilantro, chopped

1 jalapeño, sliced (optional for extra heat)

Salt and pepper to taste

Lime wedges, for serving

Instructions
 

Prepare the Chorizo: In a skillet over medium heat, cook the chorizo until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.

    Preheat and Prepare Toppings: In another skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Crack the eggs into the skillet, season with salt and pepper, and cook until the whites are set but the yolks are still runny (about 3-4 minutes). For scrambled eggs, beat the eggs beforehand and cook until scrambled and fluffy. Remove from heat.

      Layer the Nachos: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). On a large baking sheet or oven-safe platter, layer half of the tortilla chips. Top with half of the cheddar cheese, half of the Monterey Jack cheese, half of the black beans, half of the chorizo, and half of the Hatch chilis. Repeat layers with the remaining ingredients.

        Melt the Cheese: Place the loaded nachos in the preheated oven and bake for about 10 minutes, or until the cheese is melting and bubbly.

          Assemble & Serve: Remove the nachos from the oven and immediately top with cooked eggs, slices of avocado, sour cream, cilantro, and jalapeños (if using). Serve with lime wedges on the side for an extra zesty kick.
