The first day of school is already behind me. Pretty excited to take a lighter load of classes and internship, plus my classes seem fun! Nice way to start off my last quarter of school.
I’ll take a dip into the past, since I was late in the game with posting some meals made around the holidays.
To follow up the his and hers grilled cheeses, I present you with His and Hers Nachos
Not only is mexican food the easiest to make vegan, but its makes a great “throw whatever you have in the fridge/pantry” meal
His: Blue Corn Tortilla Chips, Salsa, Meat of Choice (in this case sausage), Cheese, Fage (as sour cream)
Gobbled up in seconds by the boys of the family.
My G-Free and Vegan version was first inspired by a new supermarket find, that was all to adorable.
“Politely Hot”
I love it. At least it has manners.
I cooked it in a bit of Jalapeno Oil, added some seasoning and voila. My Dad even raved it was the best meal I made him when I put it in a burrito for him.
Even the meatiest of meat eaters can eat delicious vego food.
Hers: Beanitos Black Bean Chips, Avocado, Salsa, Daiya Cheese, Soy Crumbles, Fage
The other great thing about Mexican food?
Rinsing and Repeating.
All Mexican food is the same, just wrapped in a different form of corn (Nacho chips, tortillas, taco shells, enchiladas….etc…)
I made my own version of Huevos Rancheros the following morning
In the mix: Tortillas, Spinach, Onion, Cheese, Black Bean Dip, Eggs, and a Mango Hot Sauce we bought at a restaurant called Coconut Jacks.
Favorite Vessel for Mexican Food? Nachos all the way for me 🙂

What great looking nachos. I love the ‘his’ and ‘hers’. I make two different nachos here too – one with chilli for me and one without for the kids. Such a great meal that the whole family loves.
I know I love how you can tailor it to everyones liking 🙂
Tacos are DEFINITELY my favorite kind of Mexican food. And nachos. 🙂
Yum, tacos make me think of taco salad. Cause that’s what they’d turn into because I’d make sucha mess trying to eat it!
Haha, I laughed at “politely hot.” I’m intrigued by the tofu crumbles- I really miss taco meat sometimes!
Glad you got the giggles too 😉 Ground Walnuts also make an awesome taco meat substitute
Nachos look mouthwatering! I love Mexican food.
Thanks Asmita, I’m on a major nacho kick at the moment. I love how you can make them slightly different each time.
Oooh, your nachos look incredible! Except for how I totally lack the ingredients to make it 😛
Anything goes in the nacho world. Unless you dont have chips or toasted tortillas, then it just gets messy.
Oh I love all things mexican and these nachos look fabulous !! I love the idea of his & hers, keeps everyone happy 🙂
Exactly! Though the vegetarian crumbles have been enjoyed by both sexes lately. Love it when the healthier food wins 🙂
