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!
