This has become a mainstay for me. It is really easy and delicious. I always keep the ingredients in the cabinet. I do add lettuce to provide more bulk and to lighten the dish sometimes I make it more of a salad with the black bean nachos as a topping. I probably eat this once every two weeks or so. I find everyone likes it. you might be able to add a guacamole recipe as another topping but I have not figured out the sodium on that one yet (need to though!). The guac recipe I like is a Hungrygirl guacamole that is 1pt on weight watchers (on this site too).
