EASY ‘PEAS’Y GUACAMOLE
A great plate of nachos rests (literally) on a chip that can withhold all those layers of goodness from start to finish. My secret? I skip the tortilla chips and break up corn tostada shells instead. I also prefer to keep my toppings simple: shredded carnitas, grated white cheddar, cannellini beans, some Mexican crema and a smothering of my Easy ‘Peas’y Gaucamole. How you dress your nachos is entirely up to you, but I highly recommend you try this sweet and tangy, easily addictive, creamy concoction today.
