A very nostalgic meal for me is nachos. My mom used to make them on a rectangular pizza stone when I was a kid.
They were so good! It’s a recipe I keep meaning to make, but never get around to.
Growing up, these would have included ground beef. It’s been years since I’ve eaten beef so I subbed in refried pinto beans.
Here’s what you’ll need:

Organic, non gmo corn chips
Eden foods organic refried pinto beans
Organic Red & orange bell peppers
Organic onion
Dairy free cheese
Organic spinach
Organic tomato
Organic sweet potato, steamed and diced
Organic cilantro
Avocado
To make:
- preheat oven to 350 degrees F
- line a baking sheet with aluminum foil
- Add chips, cheese, refried pinto beans, onions and bell peppers
- bake for 10 minutes
- remove from oven and top with spinach, tomatoes, sweet potatoes, cilantro and avocado
I served deconstructed nachos to my 6 month old and nachos to my 2.5 year old who didn’t want anything to do with them. Below is how I made this meal baby led weaning friendly.

-Spoonfuls of refried beans
-tomato spears
