nachos

Ingredients:

2 cups Cooked pinto (or black, or whatever!) beans, cook down the water
or
A can of pinto or black (or whatever!) beans.   cook up an onion in some water, and add some cumin and oregano, then add that to the beans.  can add some cilantro and lime too.
or
A can of no-fat refried beans
A ripe avocado
some cilantro or your favorite herb
Salsa which you can buy or make by cutting up a fresh tomato (or use ones from a can) and a little onion, little hot pepper if you like, little cilantro, little lime
Soft corn tortillas
A lime

It's basically, beans, guacamole, and salsa on corn tortillas.  blend the beans in the blender to make the bean dip.  For the guacamole, mash the avocado with a little garlic, lime, and cilantro.  Cut up the tortillas into chip-size wedges.  Add the bean spread, top with salsa and guacamole.  Put in the oven on 350 degrees for 6 minutes.  Not too long or the chips get overdone and hard to chew.   Housemate really liked it.  I thought it was good.
