Make

Heat oven to 350F / 177C degrees.
Drain as much liquid off the leftover picadillo stew as possible. (This will prevent your nachos from getting soggy.)
Spread chips out into one layer on a sheet pan. Bake the chips on their own for 2 to 3 minutes. Crisping them up first will help them to hold up to the toppings.
Top the chips with cheese and then leftover stew. Bake for 5 to 7 minutes more, until the cheese is melted.
While nachos bake, toss together the lettuce, cucumbers, and pepitas in vinaigrette until dressed to your liking.
When the nachos are finished, top them with tomatoes, green onions, avocados, and sour cream. Enjoy with salad on the side.
