1
Preheat the oven to 200F.
2
Crisp the bread in the low oven and split lengthwise.
3
Hollow the bread out and cut each half in half across, making 4 boats.
4
Switch the broiler on.
5
Heat a small nonstick skillet over medium heat.
6
Add the oil, garlic, and jalapenos.
7
Add the refried beans or, if you are using whole beans, drain, add half of the beans, then mash the remainder of the beans in the can using a fork.
8
Add the mashed beans to the pan and combine with the whole beans.
9
Season the beans with hot sauce, chili powder or cumin, salt, and pepper.
10
When the spicy beans are hot through, spread them evenly across all of the bread.
11
Top the beans liberally with the salsa, then the cheese, covering the bread to all edges.
12
The boats will only be half full.
13
Melt the cheese under the broiler until it bubbles and begins to brown.
14
Fill the nacho bread pizzas with the lettuce, olives, onions, and tomatoes and serve.
15
You can pick them up with your hands, but eat over the plateor over the kitchen sink, like me.
