I like toppings and lots of them, and don't forget the sour cream on the side! Traditionally I see nachos with refried beans, and I'm not particularly a fan. I ran across this recipe from Taste of Home on Pinterest and loved that it used black beans instead.
I used cherry tomatoes instead of the canned, it was what I had on hand. I seeded and sliced the jalapenos per the recipe, but they weren't spicy enough for me that way. Next time I'll definitely just slice them. The rest of the toppings were perfect. Crunchy chips, cool tomatoes, a little heat from the peppers, plus the protein-packed beans. Thank you so much to Cynthia N. for her awesome recipe!

This sounds like the perfect snack to set out with some Margaritas and Cervezas. Served poolside, of course.
