Homemade Queso Sauce
- 2 Tablespoons butter
- 2 Tablespoons all purpose flour
- 2 cups milk
- 2 cups medium cheddar cheese
- ½ teaspoon chili powder
- ¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper
Seasoned Black Beans
- 1 14 oz can black beans drained and rinsed
- 1 teaspoon vegetable oil
- 1 clove garlic minced
- 1/4 cup white onion minced
- 1 4 oz can green chiles diced
- salt and black pepper to taste
- 1/4 cup chicken stock
Make the seasoned beans. In a medium saucepan, heat the oil over medium high heat. Add the onions to the pan and cook for 2-3 minutes, until the onions start to turn translucent. Stir in the garlic and cook for 1 more minute. Stir in the green chiles, beans, and chicken stock. Place a lid on the pan, reduce the heat to low, and simmer for 10-15 minutes while preparing the rest of the ingredients.
Make the queso sauce. In a large saucepan, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Whisk in the flour until a thick paste forms. Whisk in the 2 cups of milk and bring the mixture to a boil. It should thicken and coat the back of a spoon. Turn the heat off and whisk the cheese in batches until it all melts. Season with the chili powder and cayenne pepper. Season with salt, to taste.
Heat the toppings. Heat the beans and the leftover pulled pork in saucepans and keep warm until just before assembling your nachos.
Assemble! Pour the chips out on your serving platter. Drizzle all over the chips with the hot queso sauce. Top immediately with the beans, pulled pork, and drizzle with BBQ sauce.
Enjoy! Serve immediately or top with additional nacho toppings, as desired.
