Plantain Carnitas Nachos (Paleo, AIP, Whole 30)
They may not be traditional nachos that you can get at a restaurant, but you guys… everyone will love them. Even the non-real food lovers can still appreciate these crispy, creamy, salty, savory nachos!
When I make them, I split them up to just have a full meal between my husband and I, as they serve about two for a full meal. But, you can also portion them out into single tostones topped with the fixin’s and serve them one by one as a party appetizer or snack at a game day event. Like I said… everyone will love them.
