How to make Refried Bean Nachos

• Heat a dash of olive oil in a saucepan and add the onion, frying until it starts to brown.
• Add the tomatoes, beans and lime juice and stir well. Simmer for about 10 minutes, until nicely thickened. Add the coriander for the last minute or so of cooking.
• Spread some tortilla chips out on each plate. Spoon over the sauce, then sprinkle with the cheese.
• Place each plate under a hot grill for a few minutes, until the cheese is melted and the tortilla chips start to look slightly toasted.
• Serve immediately, with a bowl of extra tortilla chips. (Be careful, the plates will be hot; it’s best to have oven gloves and placemats ready.)
