Black Bean & Chicken Nachos

Preheat oven to 350

1 can black beans rinsed/drained
1 can corn drained
1 jalapeno, seeded minced
Leftover grilled chicken, chopped
Fistful of fresh cilantro, chopped
shredded cheese
Sour Cream
Salsa

Put out shallow, oven proof plates/platters for each person (I use the Corningware ones we got for our wedding.  If you got married in the US in the past 20 yrs, you have 'em too.)

Layer tortilla chips out in a single layer on each platter.
Sprinkle lightly with cheese.  Top with black beans, corn, jalapeno & chicken then sprinkle again with cheese (helps hold all the toppings on). 

Bake for approx 15 min (cheese should be nice & melty).  Remove from oven & sprinkle with cilantro. 

Serve directly from the platters - set on trivets instead of placemats - give each person a small dish with sour cream & salsa. 

This is obviously just one way to do it.  We've used leftover smoked brisket and it's fantastic.  You could skip the meat altogether or add other fun stuff like black olives, green chilis, tomatoes (get 'em really dry first though or you'll have gross, soggy chips).   Get creative (or desperate) with what you've got on hand... you never know when you'll have an inspired combination.
