It’s Meatless Monday! Take a favorite appetizer like tortilla chips and pico de gallo and put a fall twist to it with this recipe.
I’ve been craving something festive for fall. I created these delicious pumpkin spiced baked tortilla chips on a whim. The whole family goes crazy for them. I can’t seem to keep enough of them in the house at one time. The are usually gone within minutes.
To serve with them I contemplated pomegranate guacamole but that wasn’t appealing to me. So I came up with this refreshing bright pomegranate pico. It’s a pop of brightness in your mouth. I absolutely adore it.
This would be the perfect recipe to bring to parties and family get together this holiday season. It takes literally no time at all to make and can be made several days ahead of time. Everyone will love this festive recipe.
