What you will need:

Home made Pico de Gallo (Tomatoes, cilantro, onion, lime juice)
Avocado
Hamburger
Taco Shells or Tortilla chips
Shredded cheese
Black beans

What to do:

1.I used meat that we had leftover from a previous meal. It was just hamburger meat that I had frozen. Either thaw your leftover meat (you could also use chicken) or brown enough hamburger for your family.

2. Meanwhile, cook a can of black beans on the stove. If you prefer (which I usually do) use uncanned black beans. They are cheaper in the long run and healthier as they do not contain any of the chemical residue from the can. However, when in a hurry canned beans will be more than fine!

3. Shred your cheese and put it into a bowl.

4. Cut up (or use a food processor) your tomatoes, onions, and cilantro. I had to buy cilantro because it is the one herb in my garden which did not come up this year! Dur.
After it is chopped and beautifully mixed together add just a bit of lime juice for some zest. I use about one large onion to every five tomatoes. You can make your pico de gallo any way you like, but do make it. It adds so much flavor!!!!

5. Cut up an avocado.

Place everything in bowls next to a bag of chips and have the family make their own nachos. It is fun, hands-on, and quick.
