Nachos Night Recipe - Real Plans

With a little ingenuity, any “junk food” can be healthy. Even nachos. The key here is quality. You want to fry your chips in oil that can withstand high temperatures – a stable and saturated fat like coconut oil or lard. And you want to keep things simple, homemade, and unprocessed.

The result? A delicious plate of chips covered in real food ingredients that meet the needs of your body and your taste buds.

To make a full meal of your nachos (and get a little more use of your cooking fat) serve nachos before a round of White Fish Tacos made with halibut that’s been baked with rich, fragrant spices like cumin and coriander.

  • Football Game Favorite! We love this and rather than ground beef use plant based grounds. Even my father inlaw was a happy camper who doesnt get the dietary choices we have made for our health.
