Can you even call it nachos if there aren’t any tortilla chips? Look, I dont know. Maybe not. But no matter what you wanna call this dish you start it with Delicious and end it with Yummm. What you put in between really doesn’t matter because you will be so happy you made this.
It really doesn’t hurt that this comes out looking so beautiful and fills you up more than that endless basket of chips and salsa ever could!
What’s my favorite thing about this recipe you ask? Well, it’s that Spicy Tahini Sauce, obvi. Especially because I had half a bottle leftover and drizzled it all over my salad the next day.
It was SO instagram worthy!!
