15-Minute Loaded Veggie Nachos with Homemade Chips

This article is written by a student writer from the Spoon University at UNH chapter.

As a fellow vegetarian and nacho lover, I have mastered vegetarian nachos. I’ve ordered countless plates of nachos from all over the East coast and took my favorite aspects of each to create this dish. My two biggest secrets to this dish are — drum roll please… homemade chips and the corn and chili salsa. Making the chips is super easy and you can buy the salsa from your local grocery store.

Instead of getting into an argument trying to convince someone that nachos can be ah-mazing without meat, try making these sweet, spicy nachos, and see for yourself how tasty they truly are.

    If you have nice chopping skills now is the time to use them. While the nachos are in the oven chop up the cilantro as much as you can.
