- If using onion, saute until translucent.
- Add water and seasonings; and stir.
- Saute for about 5 minutes.
- On a plate, add several tortilla chips; don't worry about arranging the outside ones, just yet.

- Add beef to the middle. (Or mix the beans and beef together.)
- Top with chiles, onion, peppers, tomatoes and/or olives, if using.
- Arrange larger tortilla chips to the outside edges. (Or you can top with cheese then vegetables.)
- Top with cheese.
- Microwave on a low to medium setting until cheese is melted. (Or make it in a oven proof dish and place under broiler for a few seconds/minutes.)

- Mix in about 1/4 cup Greek yogurt, 10 drops of chipotle sauce, sprinkle of garlic powder and splash of vinegar.
- Scoop onto top of nachos.

Tips
Notes:
I read that Rosarita refried beans contains distilled vinegar which may be derived from wheat or corn, but that the distilling process removes any gluten. Because of that reason they can not be labeled gluten free.
If you use Daiya brand cheese this recipe is no longer soy-free, but is dairy free.
