Ingredients
FOR VEGETARIAN NACHOS
- 100-150 g corn tortilla chips
- 1 cup cooked beans red or black
- 1 cup corn frozen or canned
- 1 cup grated cheese cheddar, Jack Monetery or both
- ½ cup salsa roja
- ½ cup sour cream
- 1 medium avocado diced or sliced
- ¼ cup cilantro chopped
- ¼ cup spring onion chopped
FOR PICO DE GALLO
- 1 small onion chopped
- 1 large tomato chopped
- 2 tbsp cilantro chopped
- 1 tbsp lime juice
- 1 small jalapeno chopped
- ¼ tsp salt
- ¼ tsp black pepper powder
Instructions
PREPARATION OF VEGETARIAN NACHOS
- Preheat the oven to 180℃.
- Line a baking tray with some parchment paper. Makes cleaning the tray later on much easier. I used a 10"X12" tray.
- If you are using frozen sweet corn, then cook it before using it for the nachos. Steam, boil or microwave it.
- Arrange the tortilla chips in the lined tray. Make sure they overlap a bit. Don't leave huge spaces in between.
- Scatter half quantity of the beans and sweet corn over the chips.
- Scatter ½ quantity of both the shredded or grated cheeses.
- Scatter the remaining beans and corn.
- Top with the remaining cheeses.
- Bake the nachos for 10 minutes to allow the cheeses to melt a bit.
- Take the tray out of the oven.
- Spread the salsa roja over the melted cheese.
- Return the tray back in the oven and bake for the remaining 5 minutes.
- Take the tray out and scatter the chopped avocado, cilantro and spring onion.
- Scatter the pico de gallo.
- Dot the baked nachos with blobs of sour cream.
- Serve immediately.
PREPARATION OF PICO DE GALLO
- While the nachos are baking, prepare the pico de gallo.
- Mix all the ingredients in a bowl.
- If you want to make the pico de gallo ahead then don't add salt. Add just before using it as it gets watery.
Notes
- Add topping of your choice. Can add refried beans, leftover chile, etc.
- Can omit salsa roja and add pico de gallo only.
- The quantity of the ingredients is a rough guidance. Add more or less of whatever you like.
- Can use cheese sauce instead of shredded cheese.
- I have used both cheddar and Jack Monterey. Jack Monterey is a creamier cheese which melts well.
