Build Your Own Nachos with Green Chili Sauce

Sharing is caring!

I am all about QUICK and EASY when it comes to meals at my house. I’m not a foodie or a pinterest perfect mom. Heck, I don’t even like to cook! (but I have kids and a husband so I do it anyway) So if you’re looking for gourmet meals with ingredient lists a mile long, then you’re in the wrong place. However, if you’re a crazy mom like me and absolutely love simple, easy meals that take less than 30 minutes to prepare, don’t come from a box labeled KRAFT and still taste good, then welcome! I try to post at least 1 easy meal a week (usually on Saturdays). You’ll either laugh at my silly meals or want to add them to your recipe app cause they’re so stinkin’ easy!

Last night we had one of our stand-by’s, nachos. I decided to make it a little more fun for the kids by making a build-your-own nachos bar (fun for them, easier for me!)Build Your Own Nachos Bar! This was a hit with my kids! #DoubletheBatch!

It’s always fun when the kids can make their own plates and actually eat their food too! The greatest part was when my son, who always refuses sour cream, decided to try the green chili sauce and liked it! (You’ll chuckle when you read how easy it is to make!

First I chopped up and prepared all the toppings (Tomatoes, black beans, salsa, olives, green onions, & roast beef)

Then I quickly mixed up the sauce, which was just sour cream and green chilies! (I know, I can hear you chuckling)

And it’s time for dinner in less than 15 minutes prep! (which is awesome, because I love cooking dinner about as much as I love waking up a toddler early from their nap!)
