My Notes

Last evening i felt like eating this salad but i did not have black beans and making them also was not possible. But i still went ahead and made it without it But what you can do is you can use canned beans too. This is a good option. But i have had both the versions with and without black beans

I found this Nachos which was Gluten Free, if you are health conscious person then go for Gluten free Nachos

If you don't like zucchini you can skip it

If you using both black pepper and chilli flakes. Then add 1/2 tsp of  black pepper and 1/2 Chilly flakes
