I have a thing for Mexican food if you haven’t recently noticed. But none of it surpasses my love for a plate of nachos and guacamole. And they don’t just have to be a pub treat you know. Especially if you’re a new mom who can’t take her little nursling out with her. Fear not! You can make the real deal at home and make them kind of nutritious too! Here’s how:
Kind-of Healthy Nachos
1/2 bag organic corn tortilla chips (or make your own non-GMO tortilla chips!)
2-3 cups organic cheddar cheese
1/2 tomato, chopped
1/4 onion, chopped
2 green onions, chopped
1/4 bell pepper, chopped
1 cup black beans
1-2 tsp chili powder
Directions:
Spread half of the chips on a baking sheet. Cover with half of the cheese and veggies. Spread second half of chips over top and cover them with the rest of the cheese and veggies. Sprinkle with desired amount of chili powder. Slide baking sheet into a 350 degree oven until cheese is melted. You can microwave your nachos if you want, but I highly recommend the oven-baking method.
This is How I Make My Guacamole
3 avocados
1 Tbsp onion, chopped finely
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 tsp fresh lime juice
salt to taste
dash of cumin
Directions:
Mash avocados. Add rest of ingredients. Mix well.
Serve with hot nachos alongside pico de galo, salsa, and maybe even some spicy pinto beans.
Devour immediately.

I have a thing for Mexican food, too. I really wish it were easier to come by here in BC, especially the dishes I don’t want to invest the time in preparing myself, like tamales. I love tamales.
