Tips & Notes
- •For an extra crunch, bake the tortilla chips for a few minutes before adding the toppings.
- •If you like it spicy, toss in some chili powder or cayenne pepper with the other toppings.
Recipe Variations
- •Sometimes, I’ll add a layer of sautéed mushrooms or bell peppers for more texture and flavor.
- •If I’m feeling fancy, I’ll whip up a quick cashew vegan cheese sauce to drizzle over the top instead of shreds.
Storage & Freezing
These nachos are best enjoyed right after baking, but if you have leftovers, store the toppings separately from the chips to keep everything crispy. Just reheat the toppings in the oven or microwave before serving again.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make these nachos ahead of time?
While they’re best fresh out of the oven, you can prep the toppings in advance and assemble just before baking.
