Ingredients You’ll Need

For the full recipe and list of instructions, please scroll to the recipe card below.

• Avocado: For the top of the nachos…creamy and delicious
• Cheese: Freshly shredded from a block, no no no pre-shredded!
• Green Onions: For freshness and flavor, sliced thinly and sprinkled on top
• Jalapeno: Try pickled jalapeno instead if you prefer
• Radish: Sliced thin, for crunch and peppery flavor
• Salsa: Pico de gallo is the fave around here, but use any salsa you like!
• Cherry Tomatoes: Sliced in half and sprinkled over the top
• Italian Parsley: Also known as the worlds greatest fresh herb. Try cilantro instead, if you’d like!

• Olive Oil, Salt & Black Pepper: For added flavor
• Lime: A little squeeze of lime juice at the end is perfect!
