Cut the corn tortillas into quarters to create triangular chips.
Heat vegetable oil in a deep frying pan or pot over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C). Use a thermometer for accuracy.
Fry the tortilla pieces in small batches until golden brown and crispy, about 2-3 minutes per batch. Remove and place on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. Sprinkle lightly with salt while still hot.
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
On a large oven-proof platter or baking sheet, arrange a layer of fried tortilla chips.
Spread refried beans over the chips evenly, then sprinkle with shredded Oaxaca cheese.
Thinly slice the jalapeños and scatter them over the top of the nachos.
Place the nachos in the oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Remove the nachos from the oven and top with diced tomatoes and fresh cilantro.
Mash the avocado in a small bowl with lime juice and a pinch of salt to create a simple guacamole.
Serve the nachos hot with the guacamole on the side or spooned over the top.
