Do we have any nachos fans here? I love how easy they are for an appetizer or snack. I decided to dress up this favorite today with lots of colorful ingredients.
Old El Paso products and Avocados from Mexico were the perfect ingredients to create this dish! I was so excited to try the Bold Nacho Cheese Flavored Taco Shells.

Lately I’m all about color when it comes to my recipes. I love creating a dish that has a variety of colors. It just looks better, doesn’t it?
These nachos definitely don’t disappoint when it comes to color. In addition to the bright green avocados, I added tomatoes, cheese, sour cream and black olives.
Are you going to be celebrating Cinco de Mayo next month? It’s a great reason to get your friends together for a Mexican potluck. These 7-Layer Nachos are the perfect appetizer to kick off the party!
Here’s a random fact about me: I usually hate olives. I don’t eat them plain or in any recipe except 7-layer recipes like this. For some reason I love them in this recipe! Weird, right?
Don’t judge me, but these nachos were my dinner one night! You could make it into a filling meal by adding some shredded chicken.
