Directions
- Remove casings from the sausages and break up the meat.
- Make the chili: Heat the oil in a 12.5” nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the sausage meat and cook for 4 minutes, stirring occasionally and using a wooden spoon to break the meat into smaller pieces. Add the onion and cook, stirring occasionally, for 4 minutes or until softened. Drain any excess fat/liquid, then add the spices and garlic, stir to combine, and cook for 1 to 2 minutes. Add crushed tomatoes, tomato paste, and half the black beans and cook uncovered for 10 to 15 minutes until the mixture has thickened.
- Preheat the oven to 400°F.
- While the chili thickens, prepare the nacho tray:
- Arrange half the tortilla chips on a sheet pan. Sprinkle with 1/2 cup of each of the three cheeses then top with remaining tortilla chips. Bake for 10 minutes or until the cheese has melted and the chips are crispy.
- While the tortilla chips are in the oven:
- Sprinkle the remaining 1 cup of each of the three cheeses on the chili mixture. Cover and cook until the cheese has melted, and it is slightly bubbling. 8 to 10 minutes.
- Pour the chili-cheese mixture over the tortilla chips, then top with jalapeños, dollops of guacamole and pico de gallo.
- Serve with lime wedges, sour cream, hot sauce, plus more guacamole, pico de gallo, and tortillas chips.
- Grab a fork, plate, a stack of napkins and dig in!
