Cowboy Nachos


I love nachos pretty much any way you can fix them. I mean who doesn't like piles of tortilla chips, topped with loads of cheese and all kinds of goodness? It's a great game day or movie night snack too and pretty darn easy to throw together.

This one uses some leftover beef roast that you've reserved from that Sunday dinner, along with some seasoned pinto beans, and then finished with some Pico de Gallo or all those delicious individual garnishes we all love - chopped fresh tomatoes, chopped purple onion, sliced green onion, chopped cilantro, sliced or chopped pickled jalapeno, sour cream, guacamole or chopped avocado.

Different and delicious!
Just inserting a quick reminder here.... that this is a blog, not just a "recipe site," and yes, there is a difference! I want to first thank all of you who have supported my work over the years, but if you aren't interested in the chit chat, info, photos, tips and such in a post, as always, you'll find the complete recipe text with measurements and instructions, as well as a printable document, a little bit further down the page. Just swipe or scroll down to the bottom of the post!
Here's how to make my Cowboy Nachos.

Gently toss pinto beans with seasonings, hot sauce and minced garlic; taste and adjust seasoning as needed, set aside.


Shred up the meat. You can use any kind of leftovers from a roast or brisket, even pulled pork, or chicken, if you prefer. My roast beef was pretty cold, so I first mixed a little beef stock and the tomatoes into the shredded meat, then transferred to a saucepan, add Liquid Smoke, if using, taco or enchilada sauce and tomatoes; bring to a boil, reduce to medium and low simmer and let cook until liquid is reduced, about 15 minutes.


Gently fold in beans and heat through. Remove from heat and taste for seasoning adjustment. Line a rimmed sheet pan with aluminum foil and spread a thick layer of chips on top. I used the air fryer and did two batches in my air fryer oven nonstick pans. Sprinkle meat mixture all over chips.


Scatter cheese on top. Bake at 425 degrees F until cheese melts, about 5 minutes.


Transfer to a serving platter, add a selection of your favorite garnishes and serve immediately.


For The Cajun, who doesn't want any "salad on his nachos" - just meat, beans and cheese please!


I found this pinto bean seasoning, so thought I'd give it a try here. It contains onion, garlic, chili peppers, salt and spices. You can also substitute other southwestern seasonings as well. I recommend adding a little, taste and make adjustments from there. If using canned beans, may also substitute a southwestern style pinto bean, such as Bush's brand, Margaret Holmes, or a Ranch style or chili bean for the seasoned pintos.
