Blue Corn Vegetable Confetti Nachos

 

Yesterday was the Superbowl and I must tell you, these Blue Corn Vegetable Confetti Nachos didn't last 5 minutes. 

No one even noticed I didn't add meat, even my husband was fooled. I am not sure if it was due to him being all into the game, but he never said a word!

This dish is so simple to make, I sauteed some peppers, onions, and garlic with lots of spices. Added the corn and cooked it for about 5 minutes.

Next, I added my drained, and rinsed pinto beans and more spices of course, and that's it.

Lastly, I took my favorite Blue Corn Tortilla chips and loaded them up with the veggie mixture and cheese!

After 5 minutes under the broiler, I loaded them up with more goodies, like avocados, fresh tomatoes, more cheese and sour cream.

This is my new favorite game day snack!
