Loaded Vegan Nachos

I think just nachos and cheese are rather boring.  Instead, I like to put all sorts of stuff on top to make them delicious.  There are a few different ways this could be made.

Take a base of tortilla chips, whichever kind you like best, and dump them into a baking dish (the sort you would make a cake in, the deepest you have).
Preheat the oven to about 250 - you only really need to warm everything up and melt the daiya cheese.
Take whatever kind of vegan taco flavored crumbles you like and add a package of this on top of the chips.  You can also use chili.  My three favorites are Amy's Medium ChiliFantastic Foods Vegetarian Chili, or Fantastic Foods Vegetarian Taco Filling.  Then, add 1/2 to a full can of vegetarian refried beans.  I also like to add a can of kidney or black beans.
Add a cup of your favorite vegan cheese.  Daiya cheddar works particularly well.
Put this in the oven for about 10-15 minutes, until everything is heated thoroughly.

While this is heating, chop up 2 avocados, one large tomato, 1/2 a red onion, and a little cilantro (if desired).  If you want spicy nachos, add fresh or pickled jalapenos.

Once the nachos are done, add the veggies on top and serve.
