I shared this amazing recipe in week 7 of the Real Food Pledge Challenge and everyone loved it.
I absolutely love nacho’s but they are not the healthiest meal that you can have…. until now! I have created this recipes because I do love nachos so much but they are not something that I would have very often. I adore sweet potato, avocado, coriander and tomatoes, throw all these ingredients together and just like magic, you have a delish bowl of nachos for that are just as yummy but a lot healthier than standard nachos.
Serve with a margarita and boom, you can have a night in Mexico at home!
