Introduction

Delicious, savory vegetarian nachos with a rich spiciness, along with good fiber and protein. A little more calorific than most things I eat, but very, very nice. Fat and calories could be reduced with lowfat cheese. Delicious, savory vegetarian nachos with a rich spiciness, along with good fiber and protein.

Ingredients

    2/3 c young green onions, chopped
    2/3 c Lightlife Smart Ground
    1 c black beans, cooked and drained (e.g. Westbrae Natural Organic)
    4 oz provolone cheese (e.g. Organic Valley)
    20 cherry tomatoes
    2 tsp canola oil (e.g. Spectrum Organic)
    2 Tbsp worcestershire sauce (e.g. Annie's Naturals Organic)
    30 tortilla chips (e.g. Garden of Eatin' key lime jalapeno)
    chili powder to taste
    ground cumin to taste
    4 tbsp salsa (e.g. Muir Glen Organic Chipotle)

Directions

~ Heat oil in skillet over med-high heat (nonstick preferred). Add chopped onion, along with cumin and chili pepper to taste. Stir well and saute until onion is softened.

~ Add Smart Ground (or equivalent vegetarian protein) and Worcestershire sauce. Mix well and continue cooking until hot.

~ Add tomatoes and saute, stirring occasionally. When tomatoes begin to soften, add black beans. Mix well and let cook, stirring occasionally.

~ While it cooks, grate the cheese. Taste the mixture and add more spices if necessary.

~ Since items in this dish are pre-cooked, it's pretty much done when you say it's done. When it's hot enough/browned enough/spicy enough for your taste, remove from heat. While it sits a minute, set the table with chips, salsa and cheese.

~ Serve mixture onto large plates. Top with cheese and salsa, letting the cheese melt in a little. Use chips to scoop and eat with. (Alternatively, array chips on cookie tray, dot with mixture and cheese, and bake for a couple of minutes. But this way is easier.)

~Garnish with salsa. Enjoy!

~ Makes 2 servings.
