Ultimate Vegetarian Nachos

This has got to be one of my favorite and most fun dishes to make. It's simple, quick, easy and allows creativity.

It does not take much to make nachos right? Just take some tortilla chips and pour some queso on top and wallah! NOOO! At least not for me. Derived from nachos I had in Thailand, I have mastered the art of nacho making.

After looking at the ingredients list and the pics, tell me my nachos aren't a masterpiece?!?!?!

Ingredients

• Tortilla Chips
• Mexican/Fiesta Cheese Blend (cheddar, monterey jack, pepper jack)
• Tomatoes
• Red Onions
• Seasoned Black Beans
• Avocadoes
• Yellow Corn kernels
• Green Olives
• Jalapenos (fresh or canned)
• Fresh Cilantro

Directions

1. Cut, slice and dice all of your vegetables (tomatoes, onions, avocadoes, olives, jalapenos and cilantro) *You can add or subtract whatever you like more or less.
2. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees.
3. Take an aluminum pan (ones used for baking cornbread or cakes) and fill with a small layer of chips.

     4. Then add a healthy layer of cheese first and then your onions, beans, corn, olives and
         jalapenos, if they are fresh.

     5. If you're hungry, repeat step 4 for a second layer.

     6. Place in the oven for 2-3 minutes or until cheese is melted.

     7. Then add tomatoes, avocadoes and jalapenos (if canned)
     8. Finally garnish with freshly chopped cilantro and serve.

Variations

1. If you prefer black olives to green those can be used instead.
2. You can also substitute any beans you like or take them out all togther.
3. This dish can also be served with salsa and sour cream if you'd like.
4. Get creative, change it up. I've used Black Bean and Jalapeno flavored tortilla chips instead of plain and the nachos were just bursting with flavor.
