Nacho fun

I’ve been on a Mexican kick.  Namely a nachos kick.

I know I said I was going to show all my eats, day by day, but the highlight of this day was this guy, so why bother with the other stuff.

It’s nacho time!!!

What makes up the nachos?

  • tortilla chips (plus the remainder of the riceworks chips)
  • black beans
  • daiya shredded mozzarella
  • tomatoes
  • Sabra pico de gallo
  • avocado
  • Green Valley organic lactose free sour cream

There’s really no rules on the process, just pile things on more things and keep piling things on and on and on.

Kyle made the beans in the rice cooker and there was some extra liquid leftover, so I used that more than the actual beans so as to limit the fodmaps.  I also used more of the salsa juice than the actual salsa and tried to pick out the tomatoes (leaving out the onions).

I may be in the minority but I like my nachos to be a little soggy.  Bean and salsa juices help that.  I added extra cherry tomatoes since we had some.  Then you add the cheese and microwave away.  If you want to ensure that everything gets cheesy you layer – chips, cheese, chips, cheese. 

Avocado and sour cream go on last after the cheese has already been melted into oblivion. 

You may need a fork, but unless you’re on a first date or something, you should be good to just get your hands a little messy.  Go on, do it.

    Is there anything better than a great plate of nachos? I love to make them out of sweet potatoes (just slice them and broil w/ a bit of olive oil) as the base topped with Trader Joe’s soy chorizo! I can’t get enough 🙂

    Elise,

    Get these like yesterday. They are amazing!!!! I felt better this weekend than I have in I cannot believe how long. I ate tons of chickpeas and raw kale salad with no problem! Now I tried pushing it too much and eating a whole honey dew which not even the enzymes could completely compensate for but I had no heartburn and was only very slightly gassy. Apparently they help you digest the food and therefore there is less for the bacteria. Why did I never know about them!???!!

    Love your posts as usual.

    Sure thing. I take two before a really tough to digest people. Apparently they are completely safe too. I think I am finally going to beat sibo with these.
