Toast 1 tablespoon of cumin, 1 tablespoon of smoked paprika, and 1 teaspoon to 1 tablespoon of ground coriander in a dry pan.

Finely dice an onion and garlic, then add to the pan with the spices.

Prepare green vegetables: chop broccoli, shred kalets, and slice zucchini into ribbons.

Add the black beans and 3/4 cup of vegetable stock to the pan and cook until the spinach wilts slightly.

Spread tortilla chips on a baking tray and pour the vegetable mixture over the chips.

Sprinkle shredded cheese generously on top of the vegetable mixture.

Bake in the oven at 180°C (356°F) for 10 minutes until cheese is melted.

Mash avocados with salt, pepper, and lime juice.

Prepare a salad with raw zucchini ribbons, jalapeños, and coriander, tossing them together.

Once nachos are out of the oven, top with the salad and serve with sour cream.
