The Nachojawn family cooks Plated 2-3 times per week. If you’re not familiar, you order meals online, the ingredients are sent to you, and you do the cooking.

Cinco de Mayo week offered some good Mexican options. Tonight we made these.


it’s 85 degrees here, so I  whipped up some blackberry margaritas too


The tostadas had a roasted tomato onion salsa, ground chicken, refried beans, vocado lime crema, cabbage, queso fresco and jalapeños. And yeah, I fried my own tortillas.

No official rating on these, but they were dope.

Every spring break the Nachojawn family heads out west to Arizona. It’s a great opportunity to eat some nachos and drink a faceload of margaritas.

We eat almost all of our lunches at the poolside restaurant – and Eduardo the  chef was kind enough to go off menu for these nachos. With a days notice he even made some homemade cheese sauce that was the highlight of these nachos.

While the individual components of the nachos were great, they never really came together for a cohesive dish. The carne asada, guacamole and salsas were first class – but the   hot fresh chips aren’t the most conducive for nachos.

Still, you can’t really beat being on vacation and eating nachos for lunch.
