Winter Nachos

from Winter Nachos, the Week of March 4, 2012.
View the previous recipe for this meal.

These nachos are a classic favorite in my family. Although, I admit every time I make them I manage to stuff more and more vegetables into the mix. This is the ‘winter’ version as I shred in roots and greens, then bake it away.

Ingredients

  • 2 cups tortilla chips , your favorite kind
  • 1½ cup black beans, or pinto beans, whole
  • 1 cup salsa
  • 2 carrots, peeled and shredded
  • 1 beet, peel and shred
  • 3 cups greens, such as kale, collards, spinach, etc
  • 1 cup cheddar cheese, shredded
  • ½ cup cilantro, finely chopped, optional

Serving Size: 3 People

Preparation Instructions

Preheat the oven to 375.

Place a single layer of tortilla chips in the base of a small casserole dish. Top with a sprinkle of the black beans, salsa, carrots, beets, greens and cheese.

Add another layer of chips and repeat the toppings until everything is used up, just as you might create a lasagna. It doesn’t really matter how thick you layer it, but I prefer it in thin even layers.

Finish with the cheese and half of the cilantro. Bake for 20-30 minutes until the cheese is melted and the center is hot to the touch. After it is cooked, top with a final sprinkle of the fresh cilantro.
