BLACK BEAN CHICKEN NACHOS
The best chicken nachos can be found at Zeppelins in Cedar Rapids, Iowa. Zeppelins' famous dish inspired me to make my own nachos-but with the added convenience of a slow cooker. I always use cilantro because it is economical and makes the dish pop with flavor. -Natalie Hess, Pennsville, New Jersey
