Picante Super Skillet Nachos

Excellent combination of Ingredients. Has great texture as finger food. Makes parties and social get togethers fun. Can be made as a "Fat-Free" dish. Just leave out the Avacado and use a Very Lean Ground Meat that has been drained and rinsed after cooking. Fat-Free ReFried Beans are easily found. An Excellent Cholesterol Free Dish also.
