Nachos was never a thing for me in my childhood – and I fail to come up with any legit reason, apart from stare daggers at my mother for depriving me of such divine creations! But when I grew up and ventured alone to college, my friends made me discover my love for Mexican food because all I knew of was the healthy grilled faijtas. Cheesy quesadillas made a space for itself in my heart and the best morning after food I discovered was a well loaded plate of nachos. So taking this inspiration I create for you a fancier version that can pass off somewhat elegantly – Nacho Pot Pie!
A pot pie using tortilla chips as layering is perhaps another kind of genius. Additionally, the layers are stuffed with Mexican fillings of refried beans, corn, salsa, cheese, lettuce and jalapenos. And last, but not least, a delicious avocado.
