Soak the raw cashews in hot water for at least 10 minutes.

Prepare the guacamole by mashing the avocados in a bowl until smooth with a few chunks remaining.

Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F).
Spread the tortilla chips evenly on a large baking sheet.
Heat the black beans in a small saucepan over medium heat for about 5 minutes, until warm.
Drizzle the cashew cheese sauce over the tortilla chips and place them in the oven for 5-7 minutes, until the chips are warm and the sauce is slightly thickened.
Remove the nachos from the oven and spoon the prepared guacamole over the top.
Sprinkle the warmed black beans over the nachos.
Finely chop the jalapeño and sprinkle over the nachos for heat.
