Just because you eat gluten + dairy free doesn't mean you need to miss out on the classics! I had actually given up on nachos, because I don't love many shredded vegan cheeses. But, overtime, I have eaten pizza without cheese + loved it, so why couldn't I make nachos without cheese?
This recipe is loaded with healthy veggies + absolutely no crap! Give it a try + let me know what you really think!
P.S. If you can't get your hands on vegan queso or sour cream, still give this recipe a chance + consider adding a salsa on top. 😋

11 ounce bag tortilla chips - I prefer Siete grain free tortilla chips
