Prepare Tostadas: Start by placing the tostadas on a large, ovenproof platter.

Cheesy Topping: Evenly distribute the monterey jack and cheddar cheese blend over the top of the tostadas. For an extra kick, sprinkle some jalapeno pepper slices on top of the cheese.
-
Melt Cheese: Place the prepared tostadas under the broiler until the cheese melts and turns gloriously gooey.
-
Guacamole Mound: Now, let’s make the guacamole! Cut the avocados in half and scoop out the flesh into a bowl. With a knife and fork, cut the avocado into ½ inch cubes.
-
Add Flavor: To the bowl of avocado, add diced tomatoes, fresh lime juice, chopped green onions, minced garlic, and a pinch of salt for seasoning. Mix everything together until well combined.
-
Build the Tostadas: Once the cheese is melty and gooey, place a small mound of guacamole in the center of each tostada.
-
Beans and Sour Cream: On either side of the guacamole mound, add a generous scoop of refried beans. These will add a creamy texture and rich flavor.
-
Garnish: Sprinkle some chopped tomatoes over the guacamole for a fresh burst of flavor. Scatter pitted black olives over the tostadas for a savory touch.
-
Chorizo Circle: Encircle the dish of tostadas with slices of flavorful chorizo sausage. This adds a delicious meaty element to the dish.
-
Final Touches: Finish off the Nachos Fantastico! by adding dollops of sour cream on top of the guacamole mounds. For an extra cheesy finish, sprinkle a bit more of the monterey jack cheese blend over the entire platter.
-
Serve and Enjoy: These Nachos Fantastico! are best served immediately, while the cheese is still gooey and the toppings are fresh. Dig in and enjoy the explosion of flavors!
