Key Layers Of Vegetarian Nachos

A platter of loaded vegetarian nachos is built up by multiple layers of ingredients. Here is the list of what you need:

Nachos: Use the best available crisp plain nachos or tortilla chips for this recipe.

Salsa: It is the soul of loaded nachos. In an authentic nachos recipe, tomato salsa is used as one of the layers. If you want to experiment with bold new flavors try – mango salsa.

Guacamole: Another key Mexican dip that is essential for vegetarian nachos is – guacamole. If you are out of guacamole, use chopped ripe avocado. Or any other dipping sauce loaded with the flavor 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 favorite veggies to top the nachos.

Cheese: Cheddar or Gouda Cheese work perfectly for these veggie nachos. You can combine any of your favorite 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.

Loaded Nachos – Recipe Variations

It is totally a D-I-Y kinda snack recipe where each layer can be customized to one’s liking and preference.

So next time to have fun while making the loaded nachos arrange all the toppings on the table and involve your family and friends to build their favorite platter of loaded nachos.

Meat/Seafood Nachos: From shredded chicken, ground beef, crockpot chicken to grilled shrimps, all taste heavenly on top of nachos.

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

Grilled Veggies: Rather than adding plain chopped veggies layer the nachos with grilled corn, onion, and peppers. The smokey flavor of the grilled veggies makes the nachos all the way more delectable.

Meal Prep For Veggie Nachos

Prepare the salsa and guacamole a few hours beforehand and store it in the refrigerator. This way the flavor of salsa is enhanced and a lot of time is saved too.

If you 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.

FAQ’s Related To Loaded Nachos

Can I make loaded nachos in advance?

It is not recommended. Once the layers are added on top of nacho chips the start absorbing moisture and turn soggy. Hence, it is best to make them fresh and serve immediately.

Can I store leftover loaded nachos?

Yes, you can in the refrigerator. But after some time, the nachos become soft and gooey. They do not remain crisp.

Can I reheat loaded nachos?

Arrange the loaded nachos on a baking sheet. And re-heat in the oven for 3 – 5 minutes. Do not leave loaded nachos in the oven for too long as the layers of veggies, beans, and cheese will start burning.
