Barbecue Black Beans & Cheese Skillet Nachos

Directions

1. Prepare a charcoal grill for two-zone cooking and build a medium-high fire. While the grill heats, assemble all your ingredients and a wooden spoon on a rimmed baking sheet (so they’re easy to transport to grill).

2. Clean and oil the grill grates. When the coals are glowing red and covered with a fine gray ash, place a 10-inch cast iron skillet over direct heat and allow it to heat for about 3 minutes. Pour in the olive oil and add the garlic and cook, stirring, until the garlic is golden and fragrant, about one minute. Stir in the tomato paste and F&S TACO Seasoning and cook, stirring, until the mixture is very fragrant (move the skillet away from the heat  if you’re worried about the garlic burning).

3. Add the beans, barbecue sauce and water or beer and stir to combine. Sprinkle the cheese evenly over the bean mixture and move the skillet to indirect heat. Close the grill, vent for smoking and bake until the cheese has melted and the sauce is bubbly, about 10 minutes. Allow the mixture to cool for 5 to 10 minutes, and then serve.
