Nachos! These delicious nachos are filled with flavours, textures and have a healthy twist. We replaced the traditional fried corn chips with baked corn tortilla and the sour cream with greek yogurt. The smoky pulled pork with the coconut & mango hot sauce make these nachos outstanding. To add a bit more greens to the nachos, they are served on a bed of romaine lettuce. Ready within 20 minutes, these nachos will quickly become a family favourite.

Dips and sauces can be a fun way to customize a meal to your little one’s taste preferences.
The greek yogurt is a great sauce for kids as it is not spicy. For kids, you can skip the hot sauce as well as the hot pepper.
Kids can help assemble and garnish the nachos.
