DIY Nacho Bento Lunch Box
This weekโs lunch box idea is inspired by the Lunchables nacho box! We’ve added some extra staying power and satisfaction by adding some refried beans to the lunch.
Demiโs review: โI loved it. Put some of your cheese in your beans and mix it up if you donโt want to sprinkle cheese on each chip.โ (Eden didnโt like the non-homemade beans.)
