With Cinco de Mayo right around the corner, these Creamy Salsa and Black Bean Nachos are perfect to add to your fiesta!
Appetizers are some of my favorite recipes to develop. They are generally quick and easy not to mention absolutely delicious. I’ve used Philadelphia Cream Cheese in my speedy nachos that I mix with mild prepared salsa for an incredible creamy topping. I top the tortillas with black beans and cheddar cheese which makes for a delightful creamy Mexican style plate of nachos.

Oh how I love nachos!
I adore this idea…I always mix sour cream and salsa but cream cheese has to be even better!
Jenny, as usual, that looks great! Salsa and cream cheese, or salsa and sour cream, plus real cheese…it just HAS to be good 🙂

Nachos are my guilty pleasure. These look delicious!!
Looks like Big Mac sauce, but I bet it’s delicious! I don’t know if we’re celebrating Cinco De Mayo, but I’m definitely going to have these 🙂
Mmmm, looks good and healthy too. I like adding plain yogurt to my salsa, I always seem to be out of sour cream!
Mmm, looks so simple and delicious, Jenny! Love the Philly contest – it looks like so much fun!
