Ingredients

• 6 small whole grain tortillas
• 1 cup reduced-fat cheddar cheese
• 2 medium ripe avocados
• 1 large lime
• 1 medium tomato
• 0.5 small red onion
• 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro
• 1 small jalapeño pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup black beans
• 0.5 cup fresh corn kernels
• 0.25 cup sour cream (low-fat)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

Step 2

Using a sharp knife or pizza cutter, cut the whole grain tortillas into triangle-shaped chips.

Step 3

Arrange the tortilla triangles in a single layer on a baking sheet.

Step 4

Bake the tortillas in the preheated oven for about 10 minutes or until they are crisp and lightly golden. Remove from oven and set aside to cool.

Step 5

Spread the black beans evenly over the baked tortilla chips.

Step 6

Sprinkle the reduced-fat cheddar cheese evenly over the chips and beans.

Step 7

Return the baking sheet to the oven. Bake for an additional 5 minutes or until the cheese has melted. Remove from the oven.

Step 8

While the nachos are baking, prepare the guacamole. Begin by slicing the avocados in half, removing the pits, and scooping the flesh into a mixing bowl.

Step 9

Mash the avocados using a fork or potato masher until somewhat smooth.

Step 10

Dice the tomato and finely chop the red onion, cilantro, and jalapeño pepper (remove seeds for less heat).

Step 11

Add the diced tomato, chopped red onion, cilantro, jalapeño, and salt to the mashed avocado. Squeeze the juice from the lime into the mixture.

Step 12

Mix all guacamole ingredients thoroughly until well combined.

Step 13

Once the nachos come out of the oven, top them with dollops of guacamole and sprinkle over the fresh corn kernels.

Step 14

Serve the nachos immediately with low-fat sour cream on the side.
