We were trying to come up with something for dinner. Something different. We all get stuck in a rut of making the same thing. We wanted fresh, tasty, healthy, and fast!
I threw these together, put the pan under the broiler until the cheese melted and then added the tomato mixture and fresh avocado – This was a roll your eyes back in your head kind of dinner :)
Here’s what I did – Click HERE to print:
N A C H O M A M A ‘ S N A C H O S – Healthier version
i n g r e d i e n t s
Whole Foods 365 Brand Organic Blue Corn Chips (or whatever brand you like)
Container of grape tomatoes, sliced thin
Onion, sliced thin (however much you like)
Lime, wedge, squeezed
1 Avocado, peeled, de-seeded and cut into small chunks – Wait to do this until you need it.
1 box of 365 (Whole Foods) brand Black Beans, rinsed, and lightly patted dry – use however much you like I used 1/2 box.
365 (Whole Foods) brand Organic Pepper Jack Cheese, grated (however much you like). I could have used more but was trying to be “good”… and it was delicious!
Jalopeno’s, diced (or buy the diced ones in a jar near pickle section at grocery store)… I didn’t have these, but will use next time!
Cilantro, chopped (didn’t have it this time, but will next time)…
d i r e c t i o n s
Mix the chopped grape tomatoes and diced/minced onion. Then squeeze the wedge of lime over. Stir to mix the flavors. Can add cilantro and jalepenos if you like.
I used a rectangular metal roasting pan, but use whatever you’ve got. Spread the chips out evenly. Top with black beans and grated cheese. But under broiler until cheese melts (and if you use more cheese than I did, wait until it starts to get a bit bubbly) – be sure to WATCH IT! It never takes long under a broiler, sometimes just a minute or two…
When it comes out of the oven, top with the tomato salsa mixture, and the fresh avocado. You can also have a side of Greek yogurt, but I kept it simple.
This will make your tastebuds smile… seriously!
Catch you back here tomorrow!
