Instructions
Using a food processor or blender, pulse all avocado crema ingredients together. Set aside.
Blend or process all nacho sauce ingredients until smooth. Set aside.
Prepare all toppings and set aside.
Cook ground beef with taco season + 1 tsp salt in a pan until meat is browned.
Fried Plantains/Tostones
While beef is cooking, cover bottom of a large pan in avocado oil and heat on medium-high.
When oil is hot, add plantain slices and fry on both sides until golden (roughly 2-minutes per side). Season with salt.
Remove plantains from pan and gently smash until flattened (I smash my plantains between two pieces of parchment paper with a mug or can).
Add smashed plantains back to the pan and fry again on both sides until golden brown. Now you have tostones, which will be used as a base for your nachos!
Assembly
Lay tostones on a serving platter and spread beef on top.
Drizzle avocado crema and nacho sauce on top then garnish with toppings. Serve while it's hot!
