Spiced Chickpea Nachos Meant for Munching

Last week, I went to this restaurant and ordered nachos. I was gravely disappointed when a plate of chips and poured cheese was placed on top. I think there are people who like nachos different ways. I personally favor nachos to be baked and for the cheese to be melted onto the chips. I think I just like the texture better.

I love adding beans to my nachos but I rarely have time to make refried beans from scratch. And the one thing I always have on hand are a few cans of chickpeas. Always! I decided to grab a can out of the cupboard and add a bunch of spices to it to jazz it up! I layered this with chips and cheese and it was revelatory. So good! And so quick. I like to make this for a little afternoon snack when friends come over—it’s simple.
