Directions:

1. Prepare Quinoa per the box directions, adding the rest of the ingredients, I prefer using the Instant Pot - throw all the ingredients in the IP, seal & lock lid, set Manual timer for 4 minutes, allow to Natural release for 10 minutes, then Quick release
2. Meanwhile put Cheese Sauce ingredients into Vitamix & blend on high for 6 minutes
3. Separately, heat up Refried Beans
4. When the Quinoa, Cheese & Beans are done, assemble your Nachos anyway you see fit

Hoff Thoughts: I like to prepare this as a main entree for two people on those nights when I just want some comfort food, but I suppose you could share with others as a party appetizer.
