\"The<\/p>\n

I L.O.V.E. nachos. They are a guilty pleasure that I\u2019m just not very guilt-ridden over anymore. I don\u2019t know when that happened exactly but I\u2019m definitely past any shame I ever felt upon eating an entire plate of nachos all by myself while watching Netflix and drinking a glass of wine. (aka #theperfectnight!)<\/p>\n

I have a favorite nacho joint here in Los Angeles (Mexicali in Echo Park) that I will indulge in after a long day at work. Their veggie nachos are gooey and grilled with zucchini and mushrooms \u2013 not your typical nachos, but they are a welcome new sub-genre of nacho-eating.<\/p>\n

\"The<\/p>\n

But even those, as perfect as they may be, are just not quite the same as homemade nachos. With simple delicious ingredients and a block of cheese you can watch disappear in the name of nacho glory, there\u2019s just nothing better: chips, beans, pico, sour cream, avocado, jalape\u00f1os and cheese, glorious cheese.<\/p>\n

\"The \"The<\/p>\n

Sure, nachos may not be entirely healthy for you and sure, they\u2019re not the most practical food: they don\u2019t keep well (you can\u2019t make them and bring them to work the next day \u2013 although I have tried). Yet, something about a hot plate of nachos, cheese bubbling, chips browned, beans roasted, jalape\u00f1os steaming, that is good for the soul.

\nSo I say, \u201cHappy New Year\u201d to you, friends, with an industrial-sized tray of homemade nachos. Get the full recipe here.<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
