In a small bowl, mash avocado with fork and stir in half the lime juice, the yogurt and salt to taste. Set aside.
Place red kidney beans in a large bowl and mash lightly with a fork. Add garlic, onion, lime zest, the second half of the lime juice, coriander, tobasco sauce, cocoa, cumin, salt and pepper.
Spread about 2 tbsp (30 mL) of the kidney bean mixture on each nacho. Place in an ovenproof serving dish. Top with shredded Canadian Monterey Jack and broil under grill for about 5 minutes or until nicely golden.

Tips
Suggestion for a healthy balanced meal:
To stay in the exotic mood, serve with rice and a mango-orange juice shake.
Medium Canadian Cheddar can be a delicious alternative to the Canadian Monterey Jack. If you wish, serve this dish with a mild or spicy commercial salsa.
