I love nachos so much I could eat them everyday. Instead, I reserve them for Saturday nights along with a pitcher of homemade margaritas. Each of these recipes is really just assembling ingredients – no real cooking required – so they are quick, easy, and oh so delicious! With Cinco de Mayo landing on a Wednesday this year, I think I may have to break my Saturday night only rule.
