guacamole

🥗Healthier: avocado spread

Mashed avocado is a cost-effective substitute for traditional guacamole.

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).

Spread tortilla chips in a single layer on a baking sheet.

Sprinkle cheddar cheese evenly over the chips.

Add jalapeños and black olives on top of the cheese.

Bake in the preheated oven until cheese is melted and bubbly, about 10 minutes.

While nachos bake, prepare the salsa by chopping tomatoes, onion, and garlic.

Combine chopped ingredients in a bowl, add lime juice, cumin, and chili powder, and mix well.

Remove nachos from the oven and top with fresh cilantro, sour cream, and guacamole.

Serve hot with the prepared salsa on the side.
