Potato Nachos aka Potchachos! Did you guess it right? I think I died and went to potato heaven y’all! This was so good and can be as easy as chopping potatoes if you use pre-made toppings. I used beans/quinoa, lettuce with lime, pico de gallo, guacamole, hummus, corn, and green onion. These make a great weeknight dinner, but they’re also a hit for parties and potlucks. I’m so happy I found a lifestyle where I can eat nachos, pizza, pancakes, and (n)ice-cream all while feeling fit and vibrant. It sure feels good to be plant-based.
