We all know and love the classic nacho recipe: cheese, beef, beans, jalapeños and maybe some olives. I've had the traditional kind all my life, until the fateful day I tried something different: chocolate nachos.
When I was in middle school one of my favorite places to go was Cheeseburger in Paradise. For birthdays, we would always order their chocolate nachos—chocolate and flour tortillas fried covered in chocolate, strawberries, and vanilla ice cream. A match made in heaven. Sadly, they went out of business near my house and I have been longing for nachos like those ever since.
