- Spread the tortilla chips out on the prepared tray and scatter over half the cheese. Top with the refried beans, and then scatter over the remaining cheese. Bake for 10 minutes, or until cheese has melted.
- Serve the hot nachos immediately with the salsa, soured cream, jalapenos and coriander sprigs.
