Game day nachos (gf, df, vg)

Sunday’s at our house, this time of year, always call for football, cozy clothes, & lots of game day snacks. My absolute favorite is anything salty/crunchy, especially nachos.

These nachos are gluten free, dairy free, and vegetarian. Feel free to top these off with some shredded chicken or spicy ground beef for your meat loving friends, but even the most meat loving of all love these nachos! 

Chips

First I start with my favorite grain free tortilla chips by Siete Foods! You can find these at Whole Foods, Amazon delivery, or directly from the Siete Foods website (www.sietefoods.com). I love their products and stand behind their mission for promoting an anti-inflammatory diet and fueling your body with real ingredients. If you’re unfamiliar with their brand, their packaging looks like this!

Toppings

Next for all the toppings! To keep this party favorite dairy-free I like to use Whole Foods 365 Brand Plant-Based Mozzarella Cheese Alternative.

I like this brand the best because it has the least amount of ingredients compared to big brands like Daiya! I also like this brand because this plant-based cheese alternative actually melts really well, unlike a lot of others I’ve tried!

The other necessary topping is the Siete Foods Cashew Queso. The trick with this Queso wanna be is that it MUST be warmed. It’s a no go for me unless it’s warm and melty 🙂 

Next, is refried beans. I add about 1/2 teaspoon of cumin powder to 1/2 can of refried beans to make them a little more flavorful. 

Add the cheeses and refried beans on before putting the nachos into the oven. Wait to top the nachos with all other ingredients until after!

As far as the rest of the toppings, it’s really up to what you like! Here I added red onion, chopped tomatoes, corn and black bean salsa, and avocado.
