When I think of nachos, I think back to like a fewweeks ago, dayof Cinco de Mayo, when I was staring at this sheet pan, and looking to find someself control so not to inhale it all before getting to the party. Just think of this: you, sitting outside on your porch with a colorful assortment of all good food baked on top of your semi-homemade, browned, crispy tortilla chips. Plus, a tall glass of iced tea to wash it all down… yes, yes, that was me!

Thus, today I am sharing with you that super simple and classic recipefor nachos topped with corn, cheese, tomatoes,BUSH’S®Black Beans, and lime-marinated chicken.

Beans easily rank up there as one of my favorite foods. Ihave chilled with a can of BUSH’S®Black Beans during a few of my manyNetflix marathons. Others prefer potato chips, but I’m cool with reaching for BUSH’S® Beans. Those little guys are packed with protein and fiber, but most of all, they are packed with deliciousness and you can’t argue with delicious. That creamy taste and texture is like no other. If you’ve hadBUSH’S®Black Beans, then you definitely know what I’m talking about:

I adore these nachos for many reasons, one of those being that you can make them your own. For instance, I like to use gluten-free flour tortillas, cut them up into eighths and give ’em a nice crisp in the oven. You, my friends, can take the easy routeand just reach for the tortilla chips, if you want to, or follow my lead.

In the meantime, I prepare some chicken marinated inlime juice and olive oil, and throw it on a grill pan until golden and lovely.

Our next step involves bringing all those good things together,layering them on top of our crisped up tortilla chips and giving it allsome time to team up inside the oven.

A garnish of tomatoes, more black beans, sour cream, and avocado ties it all together. The combo is SO easy, but it’s SO good that I can’t keep it hidden.

These nachos have so.much.flavor. Like a ridiculous amount. The juicy tomatoes, the lime chicken, the red onions, the creamy beans, the crunchy corn!! It’s all SOperfect! There is a boatload of cheese, too, in case you didn’t notice.

The real deal here is that there are layers of veggiesand proteins on top of our nachos. Obviously, this is good for us.
