Instructions

  1. 1.

    Lightly oil the bottom of a large Dutch oven to prevent the nachos from sticking.

    For the first layer, evenly spread ⅓ of the chips into the Dutch oven, topped with ¼ of the sauce, ¼ of the black beans, ¼ cup of cheese, and a handful of avocado, green onions, and cilantro.

  3. 3.

    Repeat for the second layer.

  4. 4.

    For the third and final layer, use the remaining ⅓ portion of chips, ½ can El Pato, ½ can black beans, ½ cup cheese, and the remaining avocado, onion, and cilantro.

  5. 5.

    Cover the Dutch oven and place on a metal grill over your campfire for about 10 minutes, until the cheese has melted.

  6. 6.

    Serve with the lime wedges.

Notes

  • Ended up being kind of wet, probably stacked them too high. Alternatively make less at a time (4 servings originally, moved to 2)
