Step 1

Combine the beans and salsa in a small saucepan. If the beans are too thick and clumpy, add a little water to loosen, but let the mixture remain thick. Heat until hot and bubbly.

Step 2

Transfer half the bean mixture to a serving bowl. Sprinkle with half of the optional scallions and half of the cheese.

Step 3

Pour in the rest of bean mixture and pat in evenly. Sprinkle with the remaining optional scallions and the remaining cheese.

Step 4

Microwave briefly if you’d like the cheese to be more melted. Place in the center of a platter and surround with tortilla chips.
