On Saturday the bf and I were grocery shopping and I stopped in the ethnic aisle to pick up some salsa. He looked at me and asked if we could have Mexican food for dinner the next night. Specifically, nachos. When I first met him, he was convinced he hated Mexican cuisine. So how could I say no? Frantically I tried to think of how to make my nachos Eat to Live friendly (he likes his loaded with cheese and sour cream, but whatever). I frantically searched for baked tortilla chips and luckily found some blue corn ones that were baked instead of fried. Now I know these aren't allowed on the six week strict plan, but I hadn't had my grain that day and I made sure I only had one serving of the chips (counted them out and everything!). So I feel pretty good about my choice.
For toppings I had some pinto beans, onion, tomato, lots of salsa and hot sauce and a fat free cheeze sauce. Mmmm...who knew that healthy nachos could be so delicious??
What do you do with leftover beans? You put them on top of a plate of lettuce and top with salsa for the world's fastest (and laziest) taco salad on a night when you are too busy to cook:

Lobs, great innovative way to use beans. I will do this.

Looks great Lobs! I wish Grumpy would get over his Mexican food aversion!
How can anybody hate Nexican cuisine? Your nachos look amazing.
Lobs, you almost had me fooled with the Cheeze sauce! :O
Your photography is stellar!
Hey, everyone deserves nachos every once in a while. Yours look super healthy! I also love toss-everything-in-a-bowl taco salads.
