Hearty Rice and Bean Vegetarian Nachos
3

Serves 4

These nachos are terrific for snacking, but they're also satisfying enough to serve as a main course. A chopped jalapeño gives them a nice bit of heat; you can omit it for a milder dish or double the amount for a fiery treat.

    Method: 

    Preheat the oven to 450°F. In a medium skillet, heat oil over medium heat. Add sausage and cook, stirring frequently, until sausage is browned, about 5 minutes. Stir in rice and cook 1 more minute.

    Spread chips in a 9x13-inch baking dish and spoon sausage and rice mixture over top. Sprinkle with kidney beans, cheese and jalapeño; bake until cheese melts and nachos are very hot, 8 to 10 minutes. Spoon salsa over nachos, sprinkle with cilantro and squeeze lime over the top.
