Nachos frutales is a fun, healthy, and customizable spin on nachos. It works equally well as a snack for an individual fruit fan or a whole party of fruitophiles.

Signing UpStep 1: Acquire Nacho Chips
You have two options for getting chips. Yay, options!
The first is just to buy the chips. Normal tortilla chips will work OK, but I think a slightly sweetened chip is a better fit. The good folks from "Food Should Taste Good" have some particularly nice options: sweet potato and chocolate are both yummy.
The second approach is to make your chips. Since I've tagged this snack as healthy, I'm avoiding the deep fryer, and recommend you bake tortilla chips. (If you live for deep frying, well, you can go that route too.)
Ingredients
Tortillas (corn, wheat, or flour... whatever floats your boat)
Cooking spray OR vegetable oil (e.g. peanut or corn; if you're feeling crazy, try coconut oil.)
White OR brown sugar
Directions
Preheat oven to 400F. If you're using oil, brush the tortillas lightly on both sides with some oil to help the chips crisp up and avoid sticking to the pan. Cut tortillas into strips or triangles or whatever shape you want your final chips to turn out. Unicorns? Why not! If you didn't use oil, spray a flat pan with cooking spray and lay out your tortilla pieces, and then spray the tortillas again with cooking spray. Otherwise, just spread out the tortillas. Sprinkle sugar lightly over the chips, and bake in the oven until crispy and a pretty shade of brown (~10 minutes).

Super fresh! Sounds like a great way to finish off mexican food for dinner or something original to bring as an appetizer to a party. Cheers!
