Nachos


I was cleaning out the fridge tonight, because we'll be in Virginia for the next week. I knew I had to use the last of a few things, and came up with nachos for dinner. Comforting, way healthier than taco bell, and delicious.

1/2 red onion
1/2 red bell pepper
2 cloves garlic
handful dry beans
few T oil
2t cumin
1t paprika
1/4t cayenne
salt

After soaking and cooking the black beans I sauteed the onions in oil. Once they were tender I added the diced bell pepper, cooked it for a few more minutes, then 2 cloves minced garlic. I gave the garlic a minute to cook, then added the beans and seasonings. Then I mashed it with a potato masher.
Turn the oven broiler on low. Spread some healthy chips (Anna and I go through at least 2 bags of Food Should Taste Good chips a week) onto the foil, shred cheese on top, and spread the bean mix on top the cheese. Stick it in the oven until the cheese melts. Top with sprouts, (or any shredded greens) salsa, and sour cream.
