Nachos

I love Mexican food and I am always willing to try any new Mexican restaurant or eat at an old favorite one. But I always struggle with what to order. I love nachos, they are one of my favorite foods, but you can get those at practically any restaurant. So, I lean towards ordering something more "Mexican", but did I mention I love nachos!?

So when I came across this super easy recipe for nachos, I was sold. I can now make nachos any time I want freeing me up to ordering something other than nachos at a Mexican restaurant.

I love making these nachos on my pizza pan because it is the perfect size, but you can always make them on a rimmed cookie sheet. I use probably use about 3/4 a bag of chips, I use enough chips to completely cover the pizza pan. Another great thing about this recipe is you can completely customize it by adding any toppings you want. You can also double it to feed more people.

This recipe was enough for me and my two girls (aged 4 and 7) with a salad for dinner. It seems my girls love nachos as much as I do.
