Pinto bean-blue corn nachos with fresh lime

Contrasting textures and bold flavors make these rustic nachos a standout. The blue corn tortilla chips are made from the ground kernels of a variety of corn that is blue. The corn gets its blue hue from the same natural-occurring anthocyanins that give blueberries and purple cabbage their equally-striking colors. Crumbling some of the chips to sprinkle on top of the creamy layers of beans and cheese is a creative touch that adds interest to these nachos bite after bite. Substitute rings of pickled jalapeños in this mix if you do not have fresh ones one hand.
