I used to eat the crap out of homemade nachos. My nachos recipe was famous and EVERYONE loved them. Or at least, my mom loved them. And also my friends. My nachos were epic and the perfect companion to any movie night, Oscars night, and/or Tuesday night.
Original recipe: chips, chicken, black beans, green chilies, a LOT of cheese, fresh tomatoes, and homemade guac. It was amazing. However, due to my...digestive system...this is no longer possible. FISP.
I have, however, found vegan cheese that isn't good, but makes nachos possible again.
This week, I made Crockpot Pineapple Chicken. Only instead of onions, I cut a couple of red peppers. It is really good and will be a recipe I make again. I shredded the chicken when it was done cooking and then have been using it as taco filling all week.
On Monday, I was craving Thai food and a local restaurant makes awesome Pineapple Fried Rice, which, with a couple of alterations, is totally Kim-Friendly, so I ordered it. And have been eating it for lunch all week. :)
Tonight, I decided to do a little experiment. What would happen if I put the rice (I've totally picked out the shrimp and pork out of the fried rice) and the chicken together on chips and made nachos.
Verdict: DELICIOUS! The cheese is more of a binder, so don't expect it to taste good, but the seasonings in the rice and chicken make up for it.
The vegan cheese doesn't melt like dairy-full cheese, but again, delicious!
It supports my theory that anything can be made into nachos. You're welcome.
