Easy & Quick loaded nachos to share during your next movie or game night. Your friends and family will be happy to come to your next gathering, once they try this recipe.
Lets break it down.
Nachos are one of the staples in the Mexican cuisine. However, they have been extremely Americanised as many of the ingredients used are not typically used in Mexico.
You can customise these easy & quick nachos with the ingredients you have at home. It doesn’t matter if they turn out Mexican or American, unless you want them to be. Just use the ingredients of your choice and what sounds good to you.
You will need a base of the following ingredients:
- Nachos
- Cheese, you need one that melts.
Here is a list of toppings you could use, pick any and as many as you want:
- Black beans, refried beans or pinto beans
- Some sort of meat: Cubed steak, shredded chicken, carnitas or shredded meat (optional)
- fresh toppings: onions, tomatoes, lettuce, olives, grilled corn, cilantro
- Salsa, guacamole, pico de Gallo and/or sour cream
You will also need: An oven and an oven safe pan
To make it Vegetarian: A super tip is to grill onions and a mix of red bell peppers (green, orange, yellow and red bell pepper). Add a layer of nachos, beans of choice and the grilled veggies. Layer cheese on top and repeat the process until your pan is full. Bake until cheese melts and top with fresh lettuce, olives, corn, cilantro, sour cream and guacamole.
To make it Vegan: Use crumbled Mexican spiced tofu and vegan cheese. Add a layer of nachos, beans of choice and the crumbled Mexican spiced tofu. Add a layer of vegan cheese on top and repeat the process until your pan is full. Bake until cheese melts and top with tomatoes, onions, lettuce, grilled corn, cilantro, salsa and guacamole.
My favorite vegan cheese in The Netherlands: Violife Mozzarella Flavour Geraspt (not sponsored)
To make it healthy: instead of using nachos, bake corn tortillas with olive oil until crispy. Use low-fat mozzarella or vegan cheese. Avoid re-fried beans and sour cream. Try to not use so much cheese and opt for a lean meat.
