Grilled Picnic Taco Nachos

I made this for our Memorial Day Barbecue. Everyone really liked it and it was so easy to make.

5 cups tortilla chips
1 can (15 oz) black beans, drained, rinsed and mashed
1 can (4.5 oz) chopped green chiles, drained
2 tsp taco seasoning mix (from 1 oz package)
2 plum (Roma) tomatoes, chopped
2 medium green onions, sliced (2 Tbsp)
2 cups finely shredded Colby-Monterey Jack cheese blend (8 oz)

1. Heat gas or charcoal grill. Spray 12x18 inch foil pan with cooking spray. Spread tortilla chips in pan.
2. In medium bowl, mix beans, chiles and taco seassoning mix; spoon evenly over tortilla chips. Top with tomatoes and onions. Sprinkle with cheese. Cover pan with foil.
3. Place foil pan on grill over medium heat. Cover grill; cook 3 to 10 minutes or until cheese is melted. Carefully remove foil.

Makes 4 servings
