In honor of St. Patrick’s Day, we had Irish Nachos for dinner. I have had these at a local Irish bar/restaurant called J. Gilligans. They are so good. You have to try them before the next St. Patrick’s day. Make sure to check out Pretty Yummy’s website. She has detailed pictures showing how to make these.
I omitted the jalapeños, green onions and sour cream for the kids. They loved the nachos and asked when could we have them again.
