Yield

Serves: 4

Preparation

Spread tortillas on a baking sheet and warm in a low, preheated oven (275°F) for 10 minutes. Remove, place a rack in the center of the oven and switch broiler on.
 
In a small pot, combine beans with chipotle in adobo and about 1/2 cup stock. Heat through over medium heat then reduce heat to low.
 
Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add zucchini and corn, and lightly brown. Add jalapeño peppers, onions, garlic, cumin and thyme, and cook to tender-crisp, 5-6 minutes. Stir in tomatoes and season with salt and pepper, douse with lime and remove from heat; toss in cilantro.
 
Cover the chips with refried beans and top with about 2/3 of the vegetable mix. Cover with cheese and broil until bubbly and brown. Remove from oven and top with remaining vegetables and pickled jalapeños, avocados and scallions.
