Cheesy Black Bean Nachos (meatless)

This dish is fun, quick, and delish!! It's a great way to use up your pantry's beans and canned tomatoes.
(serves 4)

1 can (15 oz.) black beans, drained, and rinsed well
1 can (14&1/2 oz.) fire-roasted* diced tomatoes, well drained
3-4 jalapeno peppers, seeded and sliced, or pickled* jalapeno slices
4 cups multigrain tortilla chips
1 cup shredded cheddar, 4 shredded Mexican*,  or pepper Jack* cheese
Optional toppings: sour cream, chopped fresh cilantro, sliced black olives, and sliced green onions

Preheat oven to 350. Mix beans, tomatoes, and jalapenos in a large bowl. Arrange chips in an even layer on a rimmed* 15x10x1" baking sheet. Top with the bean mixture and the cheese. Bake, uncovered, until cheese is melted, 10-12 min. Serve immediately with toppings as desired.
