How To Make Your Very Own Loaded Nachos at Home!

Every single one of us is busy these days; juggling work, relationships, kids, teaching and everything in between on your own, while stuck in your home!! When the end of the day rolls around, the last thing any of us want to think about is “what’s for dinner?”, and we definitely don’t want something complicated!

This simple dish can be prepared with a few ingredients that you likely already have in your fridge or freezer. It’s just a matter of chopping them up, adding some flavor, throwing them on a pan and into the oven!! My favorite way to enjoy this is using tortilla chips to dip right into the bean/veggie combo, but you could always load it up on top of them in true ‘Loaded Nacho’ style as well!!

You can modify this based on whatever you happen to have in your fridge as well; this is a no pressure, doesn’t-have-to-be-perfect type of dish – keep it simple!

So throw it all together and enjoy!! Let me know what you think / what you modified in the comments below!!

    I love this recipe … it’s great to double or triple because it stores well in the fridge. It also works as a great burrito filling in a whole wheat tortilla. I followed the recipe as shown and used a generous amount of garlic pepper for seasoning. It’s a keeper!!
