FAQs
Can I make this recipe vegan or gluten-free?
Yes! To make it vegan, simply substitute the cheese for a plant-based cheese alternative or use nutritional yeast instead. To make it gluten-free, be sure to use certified gluten-free tortilla chips and check all other ingredients to ensure they’re also gluten-free.
Can I customize the toppings to my preference?
Absolutely! Feel free to add any additional favorite toppings such as diced avocado, jalapeños, green onions, or hot sauce.
Can I prepare the nachos ahead of time?
This recipe is best enjoyed fresh out of the oven when the cheese is melted and bubbly; however, you can prepare most of the components ahead of time (such as cooking the beans and chopping veggies) and assemble them just before baking for a quicker meal prep option. Leftover nachos can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days but note that they may lose some crispiness upon reheating.
