To assemble nachos: Preheat oven to 190ºC, fan forced. Assemble corn chips in a large tray and dollop spoons of bean dip all over chips. Sprinkle with cheese and jalapenos if using and bake in the oven until cheese is melted and bubbling for approximately 10 minutes.

For best results, we recommend soaking the Pinto Beans overnight.
