Cauliflower Nachos

Did you know I tried nachos for the first time ever 5 years ago? Yeah, you heard me correctly! And maaaan, was I in love with them!

They were so perfectly crispy, cheesy, and I just loved all the salsa. My only issue was, I could easily wolf down an entire plate but then after would feel extremely bloated and sluggish! Since my cauliflower mini pizzas were such a hit last time, I decided to use cauliflower yet again but this time in nacho form! Now don’t get me wrong, I LOVE nachos made with corn chips, something that is delicious is adding some actual corn chips to the cauliflower nachos. This way you get the best of both & extra veggies and less bloating!

Either way, With or without the extra corn chips this recipe is SO delicious and so quick and easy!
