Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F. Line a 9x13 baking sheet with parchment paper. Set aside.

- Place tortilla chips on the prepared baking sheet. Top with the bean mixture and sprinkle with cheddar cheese.

- Remove from the oven and top with lime juice, chopped tomatoes, sliced jalapenos, cilantro, and green onions.

Notes
- If you happen to have leftovers (though they tend to disappear quickly), it's best to store any leftover nachos in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days. Reheat them in the oven for best results, as the microwave may make the chips soggy.
- For the best results, reheat nachos in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10-15 minutes, or until they are heated through and the cheese is melty.
