Have you ever gone to a restaurant and ordered something that you simply fell in love with? That’s exactly what happened to my wife when she ordered the Asian Nachos, at the Grand Lux Cafe in Chicago. This is a unique appetizer that has a ton of different flavors.
Since then, my wife has tried and tweaked several Asian nacho recipes and has finally come up with the below recipe. We think you’re going to love it, so give it a try. And if you’re ever near a Grand Lux restaurant, give their Asian nachos a try. You won’t be disappointed.
