I made you a colorful and large plate of Paleo Nachos today.
Isn’t it pretty? It’s got everything you’d want in a regular nachos plate, minus the cheese.
But who needs dairy when you have spicy beef, creamy guacamole, flavorful salsa and crunchy sweet potato chips? Yum! Doesn’t it all just sound wonderful?
A good nacho recipe has a perfect combination of crunchy, creamy and spicy…as well as a good protein, carb and fat mix. And that’s exactly what this dish has to offer.
The cool part about my recipe is that it is fully customizable, so you can add a little more beef, salsa, avocado, chips…whatever sounds best to you. You could even throw in some chopped green onions to top it off.
Make these nachos YOURS, and have fun with the ingredient mix.
Nachos are such a great appetizer to serve when you have friends or family over. They are super easy to make, very affordable and you know that most (if not all) of your guests will be happy to see them floating around.
In fact, these babies might be gone before you know it, so if you do serve these, make sure you make a little extra.
