Spicy nachos minus the avocado

Spicy Nachos with Goat Cheese

Serves 1

Ingredients

A couple handfuls of spicy tortilla chips 
     – i like Garden of Eatin spicy Red Hot Blues tortilla chips

A 1 1/2 x 2 inch chunk of hard goat cheese, chopped into little bits – gouda is a favorite 
     but any hard cheese such as cheddar or monterey jack is good

1/3 of a can of canned beans 
     – kidney beans, black bleans, pinto beans are favorite choices

3 medium lettuce leaves, chopped

5 cherry tomatoes

1/2 an avocado, scooped out and cut into rough bite-sized chunks

A  very small handful cilantro leaves, chopped

1/2 of a medium-thick onion slice, chopped

1 tsp olive oil

1-2 tsp apple cider vinegar 
A pinch of celtic sea salt (i just use this cause it still has minerals in it)

1/2 – 1 teaspoon nutritional yeast

All of these measurements are approximate i just threw it together

Instructions

Put the tortilla chips into an 8" x 8" baking dish. Spread the beans over them, then sprinkle the cheese over everything. Broil at 500 degrees for a few minutes until the cheese is melted – the edge chips might be a bit burnt but that's ok. Keep on eye on this, don't want anything to get too burnt! When the cheese is melted, take the baking dish out of the broiler.

To make the salad:

Put the lettuce, tomatoes, avocado, cilantro, and onion in a medium bowl. Add the oil, vinegar, salt, and nutritional yeast. Mix until the salad is coated.

Now put the whole thing together:

Use a spatula to transfer all the cheesy beansy tortilla chips to a dinner plate. Pour the whole salad over it, serve, and enjoy YUM
