Cheesy Nacho Cups Game Day (Printable)

Crispy tortilla cups loaded with melted cheese, beans, and fresh toppings. Ready in 25 minutes.

# What You'll Need:

01 - 12 round tortilla chips (scoop-style)

02 - 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

03 - 1/2 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese

04 - 1/2 cup canned black beans, rinsed and drained

05 - 1/2 cup cherry tomatoes, diced

06 - 1/4 cup sliced black olives

07 - 1 small jalapeño, thinly sliced

08 - 1/4 cup red onion, finely diced

09 - 2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro

10 - 1/4 cup sour cream

11 - Salsa or guacamole for serving

01 - Preheat oven to 375°F.

02 - Arrange tortilla chips in mini muffin tin, pressing gently to form cup shapes with one chip per cup.

03 - Sprinkle cheddar and Monterey Jack cheeses evenly into each chip cup, distributing between all 12 cups.

04 - Distribute black beans, cherry tomatoes, black olives, jalapeño slices, and red onion on top of cheese in each cup.

05 - Bake in preheated oven for 8–10 minutes until cheese is fully melted and bubbly.

06 - Remove from oven and let cups cool for 2–3 minutes to set before handling.

07 - Top each cup with a small dollop of sour cream and sprinkle fresh cilantro over all cups.

08 - Serve warm with salsa or guacamole on the side for dipping.

01 -

Everyone gets their own perfect portion with toppings in every single bite
You can prep everything ahead and bake them right before guests arrive
The crispy cheese edges against the warm chip create the most satisfying texture

02 -

Don't overfill the cups or the toppings spill out while baking and you lose that neat presentation
Let them cool for at least 2 minutes or the cheese will slide right off when you try to bite into them
Work quickly once they come out of the oven because the cheese sets up fast and you want the garnish to stick

03 -

Buy slightly thicker scoop chips so they don't get soggy from all the toppings and cheese
Grate your own cheese instead of buying pre shredded for better melting and fresher flavor
