DIY Nachos Lunchbox

Kids will love assembling this fun DIY Nachos lunch with black beans, cheese, lettuce, tomatoes and guacamole!

Let your kids choose their favorite nacho toppings and use cupcake liners to separate the ingredients and avoid sogginess. We love this vegetarian lunch idea, but you can easily add in your kids’ favorite taco protein like chicken, ground beef or lentils.

Nutrition Tip: Black beans, and other dark-colored beans, contain the same pigment found in grapes that acts as a disease-fighting antioxidant. Black beans are also a terrific source of fiber, protein, and iron for kids.

To form the base of our DIY Nachos, we use baked or multigrain scoopable tortilla chips that are perfect for loading up your favorite toppings, like those yummy Nature Fresh Farms TOMZ cherry tomatoes!

Other great additions for your kiddos’ nachos include onions, peppers, sour cream or salsa.
