What you'll need:
• 1 red bell pepper
• 1 medium red onion
• 2 jalapeño peppers
• 1 15-ounce can pinto beans
• 1/2 cup Private Selection Salsa
• 1 tablespoon olive oil, plus additional for drizzling
• 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
• 5 ounces Mission Restaurant Style Tortilla Chips
• 1 cup shredded Colby Jack cheese
• 1 large green onion, thinly sliced
• Sour cream (or Vegan Sour Cream), for garnish
• Guacamole, for garnish
• Fresh cilantro leaves, for garnish

Instructions:
1. Heat a grill to medium heat.

2. Prep the veggies: Cut the bell pepper in half, top-to-bottom, and remove seeds and pith. Cut the stem off the jalapeños and use a paring knife to carefully remove seeds, leaving peppers whole. Cut the onion into quarters top-to-bottom, leaving the bottom root attached the pieces stay together on the grill. Place the peppers and onion into a bowl, then drizzle them lightly with olive oil and sprinkle with kosher salt.

3. Grill the veggies: Place the peppers and onion directly onto the grate and grill for 6 to 10 minutes until charred and slightly tender, turning occasionally. Remove from the grill and use for topping the nachos (below).

4. Make the beans: Drain the pinto beans and add them to a small bowl with the salsa, olive oil, garlic powder, and kosher salt. Mash with a fork until all beans are mashed and the texture is similar to chunky refried beans.

5. Assemble and grill the nachos: Place the tortilla chips into a medium cast-iron skillet or grillable pan. Top the chips with the beans, then cheese, and then the grilled veggies. Place the skillet on the grill until the cheese is melted, about 5 minutes.

6. Load the nachos: Chop the cilantro. Top the finished nachos with sliced green onions, sour cream, guacamole, and cilantro.
