Ingredients
- 1 large bag tortilla chips
- 1 can refried beans
- 1 pound pulled pork, shredded cooked beef, or shredded cooked chicken

Directions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

Add another layer of chips and repeat the process two more times. Bake in the oven until the cheese melts and the nachos are warmed through, 5 to 8 minutes.
