Nachos are my definite go-to snack for times when I’m stuck for inspiration. I always seem to have just enough ingredients to whip up some variation, whether it’s a fully loaded serve that’s big enough to share, or a simple fuss free serve for two, like this one with homemade Pico de Gallo that I’m sharing with you today.
I just always seem to have the basics on hand. Tomatoes; for me are a must, sour cream is a great addition and cheese. I always have cheese. As for the chips, well sometimes I have to make do with what I have.

The chips I used for this recipe I made from some leftover garlic Tortillas that I seasoned and oiled. I then baked them to make them hard and crunchy. It’s a great little hack for those times you just need some sort of chips, whether for nachos and salsa or for a dip.
