Make the chilli
- Heat the olive oil in a saucepan on a medium heat. Saute the onions, garlic and pepper for 4 minutes, until softened.

- Stir in the beans and chopped tomatoes. Cover and cook for 5 minutes.
Prepare the cheesy nachos
- Heat the grill.
- Scatter the nacho/tortilla chips onto a baking tray and sprinkle with the vegan cheese.
- Cook for a few minutes until the cheese starts to melt, then remove from the heat.
Assemble the bowl
- Add a serving of the bean chilli to each bowl, along with some rice, avocado or any other extras you like, leaving room on one side of the bowl for the nachos.

I love eating Mexican bowls and this one looks amazing.

I love the sound of those frozen pulse mixtures – what a great idea. And I love your nacho bowl even more. Please come and make it for me right now!!
Haha I would if I could, Mandy!
This looks so bright and colourful; such a tasty looking dish. I had no idea you could get frozen beans, what a great idea. I don’t eat enough beans and pulses so I will have to keep an eye out for these.
The frozen beans are definitely handy, I went through them very quickly though!
Love the look and sound of your chilli cheese nachos! Nachos are such a fab crowd pleaser and your version with delicious bean chilli is super substantial turning snack into a meal! I could very happily dig in straight away! :)
