At least once a week I fall back on this recipe. I call this soupy nachos or refried bean soup. My refried beans soup recipe is so easy, it’s honestly a bowl dressed up as a soup. Call it what you may, it’s delicious.
I first heard about this from a friend who was cooking it one day when I had gone over. It’s now a staple in our home (Thanks Durga).
To make things easier on me and since I normally make this when I am in a time crunch, I used canned refried beans. You could easily use your home made beans. I have a super easy frijoles de la olla recipe– I like to make a big batch and freeze them.
The instructions are super easy. Simply add the beans to a pot, add half a can of water and whisk it until combined. Add taco seasoning and let it come to a simmer. Super easy.
It’s all in the assembly though. I like to eat mine like soup, while my hubby likes to eat his like nachos.

Ingredients
- Refried beans
- Favorite tortilla chips

- Onions
- Serrano or Jalapeño peppers
- Mexican shredded cheese
- Lettuce
- Cucumbers
- Tomatoes
- Salsa of your choice
- Avocado
- Corn
Instructions
Step 1
Cut all your veggies to your liking. I like to chop all my produce finely. Set them all aside into separate bowls.
Step 2
Take one can of refried beans and add it to a pot. Add 1/2 a can of water to thin them out and whisk in the desired spices. I like to use Siete taco seasoning.
Step 3
Cook them on medium-high heat for about 5 minutes until they start to simmer, and set them aside.
Step 4
If you want to add more protein you can cook ground turkey or any other type of meat or plant-based protein. I would suggest adding taco seasoning to your protein of choice.
Step 5
To your bowl take a handful of tortilla chips and crumble them all up as large or small as you like. This is up to your preference. With a ladle add 1-2 spoons of soupy refried beans, just enough to cover the chips. Add your Mexican shredded cheese and your veggies over top.
Step 6
Optional: Roast poblano peppers and sauté them with some onions, salt and pepper. Add to your soup or nachos after the beans and cheese.
