The type of mouthful makes you exclaim with happiness as soon as it hits your tastebuds which you can get in this Tasty Lazy Sunday Nachos.

My most important tip would be to use organic baked corn chips to avoid all the nasties (sugar, flavours, colours, preservatives, trans fats and genetically modified corn) used by mainstream corn chip brands.
