Steps:
- Arrange a rack in top third of oven; preheat to 425°F. Arrange 2 tortillas on a rimmed baking sheet and brush with oil. Bake 5 minutes, then flip and continue to bake until crispy, 4-5 minutes more. Carefully spread each tortilla with 2 Tbsp. refried beans; season lightly with salt and dust with cumin. Top with cheese. Return to oven and bake until cheese is melted and browned, about 5 minutes more. Transfer to a cutting board and let cool slightly. Cut each tortilla into 4 wedges to create nachos.
- Meanwhile, cut remaining 2 tortillas into 1" pieces. Heat remaining 2 Tbsp. oil in a large pot over medium-high. Add onion and tortilla pieces and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened and lightly browned, about 3 minutes. Add garlic and remaining 1 tsp. cumin and cook, stirring, until fragrant, 30-60 seconds. Immediately add broth, tomatoes, chiles and sauce, 1 tsp. salt, and 1/2 tsp. pepper. Cover pot, increase heat to high, and bring to a gentle simmer. Uncover, reduce heat to medium, and add chicken. Gently simmer over medium heat until chicken is cooked through, about 5 minutes.
- Remove pot from heat. Stir in 2 Tbsp. lime juice. Season with adobo sauce, salt, or pepper, if needed. Ladle soup into bowls. Garnish with nachos, lime wedges, avocado, radish, and cilantro, if using. Season with pepper, if needed, and serve immediately.
- Do Ahead
- Soup (without nachos) can be made 3 days ahead. Cover and chill.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Heat a large skillet over medium-high. Add sausage and cook, breaking meat apart with a wooden spoon, until sausage is browned and the fat is rendered, about 5 minutes. With a slotted spoon, transfer sausage to paper towels to drain.
- Add scallion whites and garlic to skillet; cook until fragrant and soft, about 20 seconds. Stir in beans and cook 1 minute. Add broth, chili powder, cumin, and salt. With a potato masher or the back of a wooden spoon, mash beans until chunky-smooth. Reduce heat to medium and cook until warmed through, 1 to 2 minutes.
- Spread half the tortilla chips in a large ovenproof platter or baking dish. Top with half the beans, half the sausage, half the cheese, and half the jalapenos (if using). Repeat with remaining ingredients. Bake until cheese melts and nachos are hot, about 5 minutes. Serve nachos topped with scallion greens, salsa, and sour cream.

CHORIZO, BEAN, AND CHEESE NACHOS
Steps:
- In a large skillet, cook the chorizo, garlic, and cumin, stirring, over medium-high heat until the sausage is browned and the fat is rendered, about 5 minutes. Remove and drain on paper towels. To the fat in the pan, add the pinto beans, chili powder, salt, and 1 to 1 1/2 cups water (depending on the moisture in the beans). Cook over medium heat until warmed through, smashing with the back of a heavy wooden spoon or potato masher until chunky/smooth. Remove from the heat. Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. On a large, oval ovenproof platter or in a large baking dish, spread 1 layer of chips. Top with a layer of 1/2 of the beans, then 1/2 of the sausage, cheeses, onion rings, and chopped jalapenos. Repeat with another layer of chips, beans, sausage, cheese, onions and jalapenos. Bake until the cheeses are melted and the mixture is hot, 5 to 8 minutes. Remove from the oven. In a small bowl, whisk together the sour cream and lime juice, with a pinch of salt. Drizzle over the nachos, garnish with cilantro, and serve immediately.
Tips:
- Choose the Right Chips: Opt for sturdy tortilla chips that can hold up well under the weight of toppings. Look for chips that are crispy and not too thin.
- Layer the Cheese: Use a combination of cheeses for a more flavorful and gooey nacho experience. A blend of cheddar, mozzarella, and queso Oaxaca is a classic choice.
- Don't Overload: While you want to have enough toppings to satisfy your cravings, avoid overloading your nachos. Too many toppings can make them soggy and difficult to eat.
- Add Variety: Experiment with different toppings to create unique and flavorful nachos. Consider options like black beans, corn, diced tomatoes, onions, cilantro, and sour cream.
- Don't Skip the Salsa: Salsa is a must-have accompaniment for nachos. Whether you prefer a classic tomato salsa, a spicy habanero salsa, or a creamy avocado salsa, make sure to have plenty on hand.
- Keep it Hot: Nachos are best enjoyed hot and fresh. If you're making them ahead of time, reheat them in the oven or microwave just before serving.
