DIY Nacho Bento Lunch Box

This weekโ€™s 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.

Demiโ€™s review: โ€œI loved it. Put some of your cheese in your beans and mix it up if you donโ€™t want to sprinkle cheese on each chip.โ€ (Eden didnโ€™t like the non-homemade beans.)
