An easy and vibrant dish layered with crunchy tortilla chips, zesty beans, melty cheese and a rainbow of fresh, colourful toppings. Finished with cool sour cream and spicy salsa, these Fiesta Nachos are a crowd pleaser!
In a medium saucepot over medium heat, combine the rinsed pinto beans, vegetable broth, cumin, chili powder, garlic powder, and salt.

Bring to a simmer and let it cook for 10 minutes or until the beans are flavorful and the majority of the liquid is evaporated.

While the beans are simmering, begin setting up the nachos by creating a layer of tortilla chips in a 12-inch cast iron skillet or parchment paper-lined baking sheet.
5
Sprinkle half of the Monterey Jack cheese over the chips.
6
Using a spoon, evenly disperse half of the simmered pinto beans over the cheese-layered chips.
7
Repeat with another layer of chips, cheese, and beans.
8
Bake in the preheated oven for 10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Remove from the oven and immediately sprinkle with the shredded kale, diced green bell pepper and red onion, slices of jalapeno, thawed corn kernels, and chopped cilantro.
