This recipe came from eating some wonderful nachos in a restaurant in Dallas, TX years ago. I tried to copy them. These are a big hit and you can keep the ingredients on hand for a quick snack or meal. My daughter always wanted me to make these when someone spent the night.
When I originally started making these, Old El Paso had refried beans with sausage. It made great bean dip all by itself, but I would use it on these nachos. I can't find that any more, but I suppose you could cook some sausage and mix it into the refried beans and use that instead. That, however, takes pre-planning, which is not usually the situation when I make these. The original Restaurant nachos had some shredded beef on them as one of the layers. I don't bother, but you could do that if you had some left over roast.

Nacho is my favorite food with beer. My brother bought cheese flavored chips. I'd like to upgrade it with salsa using these leftovers from last night's dinner.

Christa from Cleveland
1 pkg cream cheese
1 can refried beans
1 jar of salsa
1 bag of shredded cheese
1 6X11 pan, or something approximate to that size
Spread cream cheese on bottom of pan, follow with beans. Dump salsa on the beans and then the shredded cheese.
Start with a layer of thin white tortilla chips that either are no-salt or low-salt. The thinner they are, the crispier they will get. Layer them up about 3 deep so that you have the base of a 10x15 jelley roll pan pretty well covered. Line the pan with foil for easy clean-up!
Heat a can of refried beans and dollop on the top.
If you want you can then add either taco-style ground beef, shredded beef, or taco-seasoned chicken.
Next layer we like to add the chopped green chiles that come in a can. Some people like canned or fresh jalepenos, anaheim chiles, etc. Whatever your heat-level likes.
Then cover with shredded cheese - cheddar, monterey jack, mexican white, or a mixture of all three.
I like to bake them in the oven so they heat through, but if your meat and beans are warm already you can put them under the broiler until the cheese starts to bubble.
After you remove them from the oven, add shredded lettuce, tomatoes, black olives, etc. and serve.
This is one of our favorite Friday night meals and you can vary the ingredients however you like. Enjoy!
