We eat at my dad’s house weekly with the whole family and since he has a ginormous avocado tree we have homemade guacamole almost every week.  Truth be told, I have never made it.  I posted on my Facebook, asking for guacamole (guac) recipes and received a ton of input.  Some basic recipes and some crazy ones (like adding dairy and other random ingredients)  Tinkering with the recipe to find the one everyone likes is fun and this week I brought a bag of RW Garcia‘s Dippers for the kids to use while eating the guac.  The dippers were a hit!  They are available at Sam’s Clubs nationwide. *Recipe available on www.momarewethereyet.net.

Nachos don’t have the best reputation – but this version can keep you on your diet or close to it.  It gives you the nacho experience you crave without all the heavy extras.

 

 

 

• Start with Veggie Dippers
• 4 cheese blend (for extra flavor) – melted over the top
• Heat up some black beans – spoon onto the nachos as desired
• Add chopped olives
• Add chopped tomatos
• Add chopped green onions
• cut up some avocado slices and place artistically around the plate
• Garnish with jalapeno rings and cilantro

Nachos all start out basically the same – get some chips and melt cheese over the top in the broiler.  It’s what you do to them after the cheese has melted that makes a nacho stand out.  In these “Even the Kitchen Sink” nachos, we have pulled out all the stops (and all the ingredients) to make this a really lively nacho affair!

 

• Start with MixtBag blue/yellow tortilla chips
• Sharp Cheddar cheese – melted over the top
• Heat up some black refried beans – spoon onto the nachos as desired
• Fry up some chorizo (or you can use soyrizo) and crumble over the beans
• Add chopped olives
• Add chopped tomatos
• Add chopped green onions
• Place a dollop of sour cream on top
• Garnish with jalapeno rings and cilantro
