The (in)credible science 

Nachos are the perfect snack for game day or weekend hangouts. Top your tortilla chips with organic cheese to help the environment! Organic dairy production uses less energy, avoids chemicals, builds healthy soil, and helps mitigate climate change! Organic pasture systems improve soil quality and store carbon, while grazing-based dairy production reduces the amount of greenhouse gases released into the atmosphere.

The Recipe 

These nachos from Organic Valley use a Mexican cheese blend and jalapenos topping for a spicy, cheesy organic snack. Play around with different toppings to find the perfect combo that delights your tastebuds.
