I had an opportunity to make a dish that is a healthier version of nachos. This is called Festive Nachos and the recipe is adapted from freshthyme.com This recipe tastes amazing and clean. I used all organic ingredients I purchased from Fresh Thyme Farmers Market. I also did a cooking segment on KMOV Great Day St. Louis. You can see the full video below.

This dish uses organic black beans, mango and avocado. Can you say yum?! Seriously, this is so good. Feel free to add shredded chicken or lean ground hamburger or turkey burger. This recipe is so easy and your guest will love it!
