Black Bean and Mango Nachos with Lime Vinaigrette

A while back, when we were planning our meals for the week, Melissa had an idea to make some vegetarian nachos. Not being one to put up a fight, I agreed.

Except her vision for the dish expanded a bit, with some more un-"traditional" ingredients (at least in Tex-Mex fare).

It actually was a well-balanced dish, with some acidity from the limes, heat from the jalapenos and chili pepper, cool crispness from the mango and great flavor from everything. Best of all? A super easy weeknight meal. It's a chop and serve, really.
