California Dreaming Nachos Recipes

dairy free alternative to a classic. My 2nd was born and about 2 weeks later we found out she was allergic to dairy and soy protein. I was breast feeding so I too had to remove all dairy and soy from my diet. I got so tired of making 2 meals - or multiple versions- for the whole family to enjoy. My husband and older daughter loved these and never even noticed the difference!

Made the way I learned it while living in Southern California!

The protein in the beans and carbs in the tortilla chips make these nachos a great energy-boosting snack or light meal.
