Instructions

Process the beans in the food processor until they are a homogenous bean paste.
1.5 cup black beans, cooked
In a small saucepan, heat the olive oil. Add the minced garlic cloves and cook until the edges are golden brown. Add the black bean paste and spread over the garlic and oil base.
1 tbsp olive oil, 3 cloves garlic
Fry the bean paste without moving it for about two minutes. Add the salt and black pepper to taste and mix the refried beans until you have a creamy bean puree that doesn’t stick to the sides or bottom of the pan, if needed add a little water to make it extra smooth.
Salt and pepper to taste
Heat the tortillas according to package instructions. Serve the refried beans with warm tortillas, cheese, red onion, avocado, bell pepper, radishes, cilantro leaves, sour cream, and chipotle or tabasco sauce (optionally).
2.5 oz sharp cheddar, ½ small red onion, 1 ripe avocado, 1 red bell pepper, 2 radishes, 2 sprigs cilantro/coriander, fresh, 4 tbsp Greek yogurt, 4 corn tortillas, Chipotle or Tabasco sauce
You can also bake the nachos with the bean spread and the cheese in the oven for about 3 minutes for a nice gooey-cheesy bake! Then serve with the other toppings as usual.

NOTES

You can make pickled radishes instead or raw radishes with the following ingredients:

3 tbsp white vinegar
¼ cup water
1 tsp sugar
½ tsp salt
2 radishes, sliced

In a small bowl mix the white vinegar, water, sugar and salt. Add the sliced radishes and allow to rest until needed.
