Time 40m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 17

2 tomatoes, chopped
1 clove garlic, minced
1 yellow onion, finely chopped
1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
Kosher salt
Baked Tortilla Chips, recipe follows
1/2 cup black beans
1/2 cup pinto beans
1/4 cup black olives, chopped
1/4 cup shredded sharp Cheddar
1/4 cup shredded pepper Jack cheese
2 limes
3 tablespoons Greek yogurt
1 avocado, diced
Twelve 6-inch corn tortillas (preferably white)
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
Fine salt

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
  • In a mixing bowl, combine the tomatoes, garlic, onions and half of the cilantro. Season with salt and set aside.
  • Spread the Baked Tortilla Chips on a baking sheet and top with the black beans, pinto beans, olives, Cheddar and pepper Jack. Cook until the cheese melts, about 5 minutes.
  • While the nachos are cooking, slice each lime into 6 wedges. Squeeze 2 of the wedges into the yogurt, season with a pinch of salt and stir. Reserve the remaining wedges for serving.
  • While the chips are still hot, scatter the tomato mixture and avocados on top, then drizzle on the yogurt. Top with the remaining chopped cilantro. Serve with lime wedges.
  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Brush both sides of the tortillas with the oil. Stack the tortillas and cut the pile into sixths to make chips. Spread the chips out in a single layer on 2 large baking sheets and season with salt. Bake until golden brown and crisp, rotating the baking sheets once, 12 to 15 minutes.

These nachos were a great way to use up some leftover chicken. They were quick and easy to make, and they tasted great.

These nachos were a bit bland for my taste. I think I would have liked them better with more cheese and sour cream.

I'm always looking for ways to lighten up my favorite dishes, and these nachos are a great example. They're just as good as the traditional version, but without all the guilt.

These nachos were easy to make and turned out great! I used black beans instead of chicken and they were still delicious.

I was skeptical about how good these nachos would be, but I was pleasantly surprised. They were delicious! The avocado crema was the perfect topping.

These nachos were a hit at my party! I loved that they were lighter than traditional nachos, but still had all the flavor. I will definitely be making these again.
