]]> You can’t exactly make bad nachos. No matter what you do, chances are that this classic snack will taste great. Making perfect nachos, on the other hand, requires some effort and planning. Luckily for you, we got some tips that will help you do it without much fuss.

Choose Thick and Sturdy Chips

Thin crispy chips might seem more palatable, but they are no good for nachos. You want the thick and sturdy variety that will be able to take on the weight of the toppings.

Find the Right Combination of Cheese

Cheese combinations can make or break your nachos. You want a combo that goes well together flavor-wise but it also melts well. Cheddar or Jack cheeses are your best choices.

Chop the Proteins Into Fine Bits

There are no places for big chunks of meat on your nachos. If you’re adding protein, make sure you chop it into fine bits, so you can get some with each bite.

Add More Layers

The more layers your nacho has, the better. The best technique is to add a layer of chips, then a layer of cheese, and then top with other ingredients. From there, add more cheese and then take it for a spin in the oven.

]]> Are you ready for game day? Whether you’re hosting a party for your favorite team or just having some friends over to watch the game, it’s always important to have some delicious snacks on hand. Here are some tasty and easy-to-make treats that are perfect for any sports party.

Nachos

First up, we have everyone’s favorite—nachos. This classic snack is always a crowd-pleaser, and you can customize them with your favorite toppings. Load up on cheese, jalapeños, guacamole, and sour cream for the ultimate nacho experience.

Veggie Platter

If you’re looking for something a little healthier, try making some veggie sticks with dip. Slice up some carrots, celery, and bell peppers and serve with hummus or ranch dressing. Not only is this snack delicious, but it’s also a great way to sneak in some extra veggies.

Pizza Bites

Another great option is homemade pizza bites. Simply cut some mini pitas in half, top with tomato sauce, cheese, and your favorite toppings, and bake in the oven for a few minutes. These bite-sized pizzas are easy to make and easy to eat, making them the perfect party snack.

Wings

No sports party is complete without wings, and you don’t even have to order takeout. Make your own buffalo wings by baking chicken wings coated in hot sauce and serving with ranch or blue cheese dressing.

]]> For melty-cheese lovers everywhere, nachos are a top-tier snack (or meal, if you’d like). Nachos are the perfect combination of crunchy and salty, plus you can load them up with protein and veggies to make it more of a meal.

If you’re a nacho fanatic that wants a healthier alternative to processed, store-bought tortilla chips, this is for you.

There are so many different substitutions you can make for regular tortilla chips, but this one not only acts as a healthy substitute; it will also keep you full for longer and add some sweetness to your nachos.

We highly recommend you replace your tortilla chips with sweet potato. Sweet potatoes add fiber and vitamins to your nachos, making it even more acceptable for you to eat them as a meal (and who doesn’t want that?).

All you need to do is slice your sweet potatoes thinly and roast them in the oven (heated to 300 degrees Fahrenheit) with olive oil for about 25 minutes. They should get crispy as long as you spread them out on the pan so that none of them are touching. Once they’re ready, use them as the base of your nachos and pile those toppings as high as your heart desires!

]]> Whether you’re trying to hit your fitness goals by loading up on protein, or maybe you just want to feel like you’re getting more nutritional benefits from the best cheesy snack, there are tons of methods to add more protein into your nachos! Start with a base of your favorite tortilla chips and cheese combo and add some of these ingredients to top it off!

Black Beans

Black beans are a great source of protein and they taste so good with most Mexican-style dishes. This is exactly why you should try loading your nachos with black beans—their flavors combine so well, you’ll be wondering why you never added them before!

Shredded Chicken or Beef

Similar to black beans, adding some meat to your nachos really increases the protein. It might even level your nachos up from a snack to a full-blown meal! Just remember to cook the meat before adding it to your nachos, because nachos cook really fast. 

Replace Your Chips

There are so many higher-protein options for chips, and you can easily swap your plain corn chips for quinoa chips or the many other protein chips you see at the grocery store. If you really want to level up your nacho game, you can even slice a sweet potato and use that as the base later for your nachos instead of chips!

]]> Necessity may profess to be the mother of invention, but if you ask us, laziness has definitely resulted in us coming up with an ingenious method or two. A case in point is the Frito pie. The snack was likely created because it was way easier to throw nachos ingredients into a bag of chips rather than onto a plate and then have to wash up afterward—not that we’re complaining!

Ingredients:

  • 6 bags Fritos
  • 1 jalapeño, thinly sliced
  • 2 cups shredded Cheddar
  • 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1 medium white onion, chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons tomato paste
  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1 ½ teaspoons chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon  ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • ¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • Kosher salt
  • Freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 can crushed tomatoes
  • 1 can pinto beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1 tablespoon sour cream

Instructions:

  1. Heat the oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add half an onion and cook for about 5 minutes, until soft. Stir in the garlic and cook until fragrant, then add the tomato paste and stir to combine. Add the ground beef and cook until it is no longer pink. Drain the fat and return the meat to the heat.
  2. Add in the chili powder, cumin, oregano, cayenne, and season generously with salt and pepper. Pour in the crushed tomatoes and pinto beans and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and allow to simmer for 20 minutes. Season with more salt and pepper, if necessary.
  3. Open the bags of chips and ladle in the chili mixture. Top with cheddar, the remaining chopped white onions, jalapeños, and sour cream.

]]> We’ve all been there. You’ve been working non-stop for the last eight months and haven’t had a moment to catch your breath. And with COVID-19 protocols forcing you to stay home more than usual, you’ve almost forgotten what an actual tree looks like. As a result, you’ve thrown all caution to the wind and decided to go camping. If that’s indeed you, here are some recipes that’ll make your camping trip all that much better.

Campfire Nachos

We’ll start off simple, because let’s be real: you can’t exactly cook a five-course meal when you’re in the woods. Nevertheless, this tasty nacho recipe is better than most nacho recipes you’ll eat at your local bar. And yes, it’s geared for the outdoors!

Chickpea Curry

Yes, you read that correctly. This is a legitimate curry recipe that you can make in the wilderness, as long as you have the proper equipment (which isn’t really that much). This flavorful dish, filled with spices and coconut milk, will make your camping buddies super happy you came along.

Sausage Breakfast Sandwiches

If you’re camping, is there really a better breakfast to wake up to than sausages on a grill? We can practically smell them from here. Additionally, the sizzling sound will harmonize beautifully with the melodic sounds of nature around you. Hey, you got to enjoy the little things in life, and that’s what this retreat was all about, after all.

]]> Nachos are a favorite plate to prepare when craving Mexican flavors. They’re simple to make, full of flavor, and don’t require a ton of expertise or knowledge in the kitchen to get right.

Do you want to learn how to make a quick vegan version at home? Here’s how!

Ingredients

  • 1 150 gram bag tortilla chips
  • 4 ounces vegan shredded Monterey Jack cheese
  • 4 ounces canned black beans
  • ½ small tomato, diced
  • ½ avocado, diced
  • 8 jalapeno rings, chopped

Instructions

  • Begin the recipe by preheating your oven to 400 degrees F.
  • Take a sheet pan and line it with aluminum foil, being sure to cover the entire surface of the pan. For the first layer, empty the entire bag of tortilla chips onto the pan, spreading them evenly across its surface.
  • Next, add the vegan shredded cheese and the black beans on top of the tortilla chips in an even fashion. This will allow them to melt together. Go ahead and add the avocado and jalapeno rings as well.
  • Bake in the oven for approximately 6-8 minutes, or until the cheese has melted and the tortilla chips are golden-brown. Open the oven and allow to cool for 10-15 minutes. Remove the sheet pan, add the diced tomatoes on top, and enjoy!

]]> Necessity may profess to be the mother of invention, but if you ask us, laziness has definitely resulted in us coming up with an ingenious method or two. A case in point is the Frito pie. The snack was likely created because it was way easier to throw nachos ingredients into a bag of chips rather than onto a plate and then have to wash up afterward—not that we’re complaining!

Ingredients:

  • 6 bags Fritos
  • 1 jalapeño, thinly sliced
  • 2 cups shredded Cheddar
  • 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1 medium white onion, chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons tomato paste
  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1 ½ teaspoons chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon  ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • ¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • Kosher salt
  • Freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 can crushed tomatoes
  • 1 can pinto beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1 tablespoon sour cream

Instructions:

  1. Heat the oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add half an onion and cook for about 5 minutes, until soft. Stir in the garlic and cook until fragrant, then add the tomato paste and stir to combine. Add the ground beef and cook until it is no longer pink. Drain the fat and return the meat to the heat.
  2. Add in the chili powder, cumin, oregano, cayenne, and season generously with salt and pepper. Pour in the crushed tomatoes and pinto beans and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and allow to simmer for 20 minutes. Season with more salt and pepper, if necessary.
  3. Open the bags of chips and ladle in the chili mixture. Top with cheddar, the remaining chopped white onions, jalapeños, and sour cream.

]]> We’ve all been there. You’ve been working non-stop for the last eight months and haven’t had a moment to catch your breath. And with COVID-19 protocols forcing you to stay home more than usual, you’ve almost forgotten what an actual tree looks like. As a result, you’ve thrown all caution to the wind and decided to go camping. If that’s indeed you, here are some recipes that’ll make your camping trip all that much better.

Campfire Nachos

We’ll start off simple, because let’s be real: you can’t exactly cook a five-course meal when you’re in the woods. Nevertheless, this tasty nacho recipe is better than most nacho recipes you’ll eat at your local bar. And yes, it’s geared for the outdoors!

Chickpea Curry

Yes, you read that correctly. This is a legitimate curry recipe that you can make in the wilderness, as long as you have the proper equipment (which isn’t really that much). This flavorful dish, filled with spices and coconut milk, will make your camping buddies super happy you came along.

Sausage Breakfast Sandwiches

If you’re camping, is there really a better breakfast to wake up to than sausages on a grill? We can practically smell them from here. Additionally, the sizzling sound will harmonize beautifully with the melodic sounds of nature around you. Hey, you got to enjoy the little things in life, and that’s what this retreat was all about, after all.

]]> Nachos are a favorite plate to prepare when craving Mexican flavors. They’re simple to make, full of flavor, and don’t require a ton of expertise or knowledge in the kitchen to get right.

Do you want to learn how to make a quick vegan version at home? Here’s how!

Ingredients

  • 1 150 gram bag tortilla chips
  • 4 ounces vegan shredded Monterey Jack cheese
  • 4 ounces canned black beans
  • ½ small tomato, diced
  • ½ avocado, diced
  • 8 jalapeno rings, chopped

Instructions

  • Begin the recipe by preheating your oven to 400 degrees F.
  • Take a sheet pan and line it with aluminum foil, being sure to cover the entire surface of the pan. For the first layer, empty the entire bag of tortilla chips onto the pan, spreading them evenly across its surface.
  • Next, add the vegan shredded cheese and the black beans on top of the tortilla chips in an even fashion. This will allow them to melt together. Go ahead and add the avocado and jalapeno rings as well.
  • Bake in the oven for approximately 6-8 minutes, or until the cheese has melted and the tortilla chips are golden-brown. Open the oven and allow to cool for 10-15 minutes. Remove the sheet pan, add the diced tomatoes on top, and enjoy!
