In our family we love nachos, and I could literally eat them everyday! We are trying to reduce our meat consumption and have a few more vegetarian nights, so I came up with a recipe for vegetarian nachos. This is literally the simplest recipe ever – you just throw it in a pot and let it cook! I’m all for recipes like this so I figured I might as well share! This recipe is super healthy and cheap to make too and kids would totally love it!
While you can just pop this on top of some store bought nacho chips, I prefer to make our own as I think they taste way nicer! I’ve included my recipe for the ultimate nacho chip too, and they are also super simple!
What you’ll need…
- 2 large cloves of garlic (crushed)
