One night when I was a kid at sleepaway camp, our counselor told us she couldn’t wait to go to sleep so she could wake up and eat breakfast. This tiny moment has stuck with me for all these years and I always think of her when I’m anticipating a really fun breakfast. These nachos inspire that kind of pure enthusiasm. They’re fantastic to make for a crowd, whether it’s a group of friends spending the weekend together (and quite possibly getting over a hangover) or a bunch of cousins or kids waking up after a sleepover. These nachos really lend themselves to customization and are an excellent place to use up little bits of leftovers (for example, extra black beans, cooked and crumbled sausage or bacon, or roasted vegetables on the nachos themselves, or a random radish or extra scallions in the tomato mixture). These nachos remind me that two big components of healthy eating are flexibility and pleasure. Both of those are essential for feeling good about ourselves.
