Healthy comfort food is my thing. Seriously. I take all my favorite junk foods and turn them into healthy creations. And let me tell you, this totally hit the nacho craving like BAM!

So I used roasted zucchini because I don’t have an air fryer (gasp!) but I hear zucchini chips are awesome to make in the air fryer so if you have one then by all means use it!

This meal is so easy and delicious to make you are definitely going to want to put it on the regular rotation.

I love mine topped with avocado, olives, pico de gallo, cilantro and drizzled with Ranch dressing. If you want to try my favorite Vegan Ranch, check out the recipe here.
