You will have to excuse me, I have nachos on the brain these days. I could only eat normal Mexican nachos so often before my imagination started acting up. I have a whole list of different variations on the nacho theme running around in my head. This is the first: Italian Nachos.
I thought of all the delicious things that go into a great Italian dish and combined it on top of corn chips. It’s gluten free and delicious. My kids love eating dinner with their fingers so there were no complaints from them. I set up all of the toppings in separate little bowls and everyone made their own. Some of us used all of the options, while others only chose meat and cheese.
