Black Bean, Corn and Lime Vegetarian Nachos
Disclosure: This recipe for Black Bean, Corn and Lime Vegetarian Nachos was made as part of a campaign with Tostitos® and Chatelaine Tasters and Testers.
Summer is finally here! Our family has begun the weekly trek to our cottage on the weekends. We love spending time in the sun enjoying nature, boating and each other. Weekends at the lake are not the time to spend hours on food preparation. Instead we like to invite neighbours over for a barbecue or for a dinner of appetizers.
One of my favorite things to have on hand is a bag of tortilla chips. They are perfect with salsa or queso dip and everyone loves them.
Tostitos Cantina® Extra Thick Tortilla Chips are perfect for nachos. When I saw the thick and crispy chips that is all I could think of. Followed quickly by, “Why don’t I make nachos more often?”
I decided to lighten up the usual nacho recipe by making them vegetarian nachos. Then I headed to the pantry to pull out ingredients that I always have on hand. Black beans? Check! Nibblet corn? Check! Add in a lime, fresh tomato and cheese and YUM.
My six year old ate his serving of nachos and asked for more. The next day, I warmed up leftovers and they were gone in a flash.

I'd really like to try the Avocado Lime and Black Bean Salsa.
I love the look of this one! http://www.tostitos.ca/recipes/avocado-and-cherry-tomato-multigrain-scoopssuprsup
the goat cheese and herb bits sound delish
My favourite recipe is the salted caramel and chocolate bark.
Herbed Feta Dip, yum!!
OMG that jalepeno cheese dip looks amazing. I like it better than all the others on the site! Off to buy chips first thing in the morning. Dips can be a meal right?
I think the Cranberry Avocado Scoops recipe looks yummy. Lots of great recipes there though.
It would have to be the chorizo and manchego cheese nachos... yum! Spicy sausage is always a hit at our house, and we love cheeses of all kinds!
Can't wait to try this one out. Baked cheese dips have that something special, and this sounds like a yummy way to have a jalapeno popper-like treat!
I think that the dessert nachos sound so good!
CHORIZO AND MANCHEGO CHEESE PARTY NACHOS for sure! I would leave the jalapenos off of mine (and add extra for my husband) and change it to green onion instead of red, and maybe double the tomatoes and the olives 🙂 And I'd probably double the cheese too lol
