Now for the assembly of the nachos: in a plate or platter, arrange just enough fried tortillas to cover the plate, being careful not to crowd them.

Smear some of the refried black beans onto the tortillas, then cover with a heaping dose of cheese, and nuke in the microwave until the cheese is all melted.
15
Take them out and spread on top enough Pico de Gallo to cover it all.

Delicious!

You have to repeat the process with every batch of nachos, but it is worth it, and your guests will love you a little more.
