Bean and Cheese Nachos Recipe
The protein in the beans and carbs in the tortilla chips make these nachos a great energy-boosting snack or light meal. Refried beans are not beans that have been fried twice as the name suggests. In Spanish, they are called Frijoles Refritos—or well-fried beans—a reference to how the mashed pinto beans are typically heated in a frying pan before serving. Refried beans are a classic smeared on tortilla chips with cheese for Tex-Mex nachos.

Grilled chicken with grilled tomatillo salsa
Grill tomatillos and chicken together with jalapeños, onions, and garlic in a foil packet for quick, easy preparation and to let the chicken soak in the flavors of the fresh ingredients. Be careful when opening the foil package to check the doneness of the ingredients, as there will be a lot of steam. If you don’t have a grill or grill pan, you can broil the chicken and the tomatillo mixture (no need to wrap it in foil). You can make the tomatillo salsa up to 3 days ahead.

Quesadilla.png
Nut and olive quesadillas | You may not think of olives as a traditional filling for quesadillas, but they taste great on nachos, so they'll taste great in your quesadillas too and are a perfect complement to earthy chopped walnuts. The melty mozzarella and feta cheese also helps to brings everything together. Bonus: These quesadillas take less than a half hour to make, and if you have a large griddle pan, save time and cook all three quesadillas together.
