Place a medium frying pan over medium heat and add the vegetable oil. Once hot, add the onion and garlic and fry for 2 minutes. Add the ground/mince, spices, salt, pepper and dark soy sauce. Fry until lightly browned.

Add the refried beans and the water, stir and cook for a further 2-3 minutes or until most of the water has disappeared. Reduce the stove to the lowest heat possible while you assemble the nachos.

To Make the Pico De Gallo
In a medium bowl, mix together all the ingredients and set aside.
½ onion, juice of 1 lime, 3 tomatoes, small bunch of coriander, pinch fine sea salt
To Assemble the Nachos
For hot nachos, preheat the oven to 180 °C and spread the tortilla chips on a baking tray or in a large cast-iron skillet. Place the chips in the oven to toast for 5-10 minutes, watching them closely to make sure they don't burn. Remove the chips from the oven. For warm nachos, skip this step.
340 g tortilla chips
Top first with a drizzle of the nacho cheese, followed by some spoonfuls of the ground/mince, some dollops of the sour cream, the pico de gallo, the cubed avocado a good squeeze of lime and the jalapeños.
