This sheet pan version builds in stages so every chip gets its share of beans, vegetables, and dairy-free queso instead of sinking to the bottom. A quick broil melts the cashew-based sauce and crisps the edges, while fresh pico, avocado, and lime keep the finished platter light and bright. It works as a game-day centerpiece or a casual dinner for a crowd.
Ingredients
- 10 ounces sturdy restaurant-style tortilla chips
- 1 can black beans, drained and rinsed
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 1/2 cups vegan cashew queso sauce

- 1 avocado, diced
- 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
- 1/4 cup pickled jalapeños
- 1 lime, cut into wedges
- 1/4 cup vegan sour cream
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Method
-
Preheat the oven to 425°F and line a 9x13-inch sheet pan with parchment paper.
-
In a medium bowl, toss the black beans with the cumin, smoked paprika, olive oil, and salt.
-
Spread half of the tortilla chips in an even layer across the sheet pan.
-
Scatter half of the seasoned black beans and half of the corn over the chips, then drizzle with half of the cashew queso sauce.
-
Repeat with a second layer of the remaining chips, beans, corn, and queso sauce.
-
Bake until the queso is bubbling and the chip edges are golden, 10 to 12 minutes.
-
Remove from the oven and immediately scatter the red onion, cherry tomatoes, and fresh jalapeño slices over the top.
-
Top with diced avocado, cilantro, and pickled jalapeños.
