Fallout inspired: Wasteland Nachos

The Fallout games are my all time favorites. I can't get enough of the post apocalyptic story line and themes that go along with them. All the side quests can have me playing for hours on end. Yes, it is safe to say I am addicted and I need a doctor to rid me of my "chem" addiciton. LOL

So I came up with a mouth watering recipe. It took me quite some time to come up with something FALLOUT themed. So I thought to myself, what food out there do a majority of people like? NACHOS!  So here it is, WASTELAND NACHOS. Eat as much as you want! I promise you wont get RAD poisoning, it is safe to say you can toss your RADAWAY. :-)
