Key Layers Of Vegetarian Nachos

Nachos: This recipe uses the best available crisp plain nachos or tortilla chips. Salsa: It is the soul of loaded nachos. In an authentic nachos recipe, tomato salsa is one of the layers. If you want to experiment with bold new flavours, try – mango salsa. Guacamole: Another key Mexican dip essential for vegetarian nachos is – guacamole. If you are out of guacamole, use chopped ripe avocado. Or any other dipping sauce loaded with the flavour of fresh herbs. Vegetables: I have used corn salsa – a mix of corn, cucumber, onion, and bell peppers for this loaded nachos platter. Feel free to use any of your favourite veggies to top the nachos. Cheese: Cheddar or Gouda Cheese work perfectly for these veggie nachos. You can combine any of your favourite cheese varieties to make a gooey and cheesy platter of nachos. Other Ingredients: Sour Cream, Lemon Juice, Jalapeno Peppers or Green Chilli, Refried Beans, Black olive, Fresh Parsley, or Cilantro.

Beans: You can layer nachos with refried beans, baked beans, black beans, or simple canned beans.

Meal Prep For Veggie Nachos

Prepare the salsa and guacamole a few hours beforehand and store it in the refrigerator. This way, the flavour of salsa is enhanced, and a lot of time is saved too. If you are planning to use refried beans as one of the layers. Make a batch one day in advance. Keep the freshly chopped herbs, lemon wedges, sour cream, and extra virgin olive oil in separate bowls on the serving table. Let the guests garnish their nachos as per their preference.
