Gluten Free Nachos Supreme

Well, it's Saturday night and for something fun I decided to make Gluten Free Nachos Supreme for dinner. Usually hubby doesn't like "appys" for dinner, but he ended up eating two large plates of this! Even the kids did pretty well eating up their portions.

I didn't have any green onion, tomato or olives for the toppings but hubby and the kids are so picky that they probably wouldn't have eaten it if I had put them on anyway. I also think the picture would have looked so nice with the additional colour added, but oh well. :)
