The protein in the beans and carbs in the tortilla chips make these nachos a great energy-boosting snack or light meal. Refried beans are not beans that have been fried twice as the name suggests. In Spanish, they are called Frijoles Refritos—or well-fried beans—a reference to how the mashed pinto beans are typically heated in a frying pan before serving. Refried beans are a classic smeared on tortilla chips with cheese for Tex-Mex nachos. Topping each nacho with a pickled jalapeño slice would make any cowboy tip his hat to the cook. Just don't forget the salsa!
