A better plate of nachos

by Caroline on August 22, 2009

nachos with guacamole, beans, and cornI crave easy, somewhat unhealthy dinners on Fridays. So last night I piled a mix of Latin ingredients atop freshly fried corn tortillas for a mean plate of nachos.

Instead of salsa, I used homemade guacamole (avocado, lime, cilantro, shallot, mayo and salt). And rather than gooey melted cheese, I used a sprinkle of fresh goat cheese that has a similar texture as queso fresco. Leftover back beans and cooked corn kernels gave extra flavor and necessary fiber. 

These were so much better than the bottled salsa and cheddar versions I’ve made in the past and probably healthier, too. What a humble, sloppy, perfect Friday meal.

I’ve found a sweet spot with nervous energy, Miami heat and 20s metabolism. And I’m pretty sure cutting back on beer and processed foods can only help!

Wow, your stuff looks sooooo good! Do you ever worry about getting big again eating all this rich stuff?
