Tried and true Nachos!
We love nachos and wondered how we could still enjoy them without the pounds of cheese we used to melt on top. Re-thinking cheese has been a challenge with this new way of eating for us.
So today I cooked some broccoli and onions, diced a generous amount of tomatoes and mushrooms and set aside. For the base I used Trader Joes Flaxseed tortilla chips (Yummy!). Also Tostito's Artisan Southwestern Spices, 9 Grains chips work well too. Cover a cookie sheet with the chips. Next I covered the chips with Organic Refried Beans.
Next, I dusted, ever so lightly, maybe a 1/2 to 3/4 cup of grated Mexican blend cheese and covered this with all the veggies.
Bake in a 350 oven for 30 minutes and cover with your favorite salsa, we like black bean and corn, and shredded lettuce.
Even though this uses a bit of cheese it is cheese as a condiment* NOT the thick blanket of cheese in our old recipe. It is just as good this way, well, better because many more veggies blend with the flavor of the beans and chips spices.

Enjoy!

We love nachos, too! I do use a vegan Mexican Cheese Shreds... find it at Meijer. It is a pretty good substitute. Phil and I had good nachos at Barley and Rye/The Mitten this past week... build your own... very good!
