Recipe: Patriotic Nachos

Posted on June 30, 2014 by Beeb Ashcroft

The Better Chip provided me with product and/or compensation for this post, however the opinions I shared are my own.

Have you caught World Cup fever? If you’ll be cheering on Team USA this week, here’s some awesome game day grub for you to cook up: Patriotic Nachos! These nachos are unique, easy to make, and feature The Better Chip, a delicious line of chips that are gluten free, non-GMO and vegan-friendly – well, until you cover them in cheese to make nachos, but just omit that part to keep them vegan. 😉

I received a fun World Cup package from The Better Chip, containing bags of their chip flavors along with a caxirola, which is the official noisemaker of the World Cup. Good thing it’s not a vuvuzela, right? 😉 The flavors included Fresh Corn, a classic, tasty chip; Spinach & Kale, a different, green kind of chip that was nice; Beet Chips, which might be the best beet has ever tasted; Chipotles, a super spicy and smoky chip, and Jalapenos, which has a slightly milder spicy kick to it. I nibbled on each flavor while preparing my nachos and thought they were super yum!

To create my original nacho recipe, I wanted something that would work for both Team USA and the 4th of July this week: Hence, Patriotic Nachos were born! What makes them patriotic, you ask? Because they are red, white and blue!

Red: Kidney beans, salad tomatoes
White: White beans, white onion, mozzarella cheese
Blue: Blue cheese

Patriotic Nachos

Ingredients

2 oz bag The Better Chip Corn Chips
2 oz bag The Better Chip Jalapenos Chips
2 oz bag The Better Chip Spinach & Kale Chips
2 oz bag The Better Chip Beets Chips
2 oz bag The Better Chip Chipotles Chips
1 can kidney beans
1 can white beans
White onion, peeled & chopped
Package of salad tomatoes
Bag of mozzarella cheese
Package of blue cheese

Instructions

Layer all chips in a large, foil-lined pan, arranging in strips by color.
Rinse kidney & white beans, layer over chips.
Peel & chop a white onion, sprinkle over the chip & bean layer.
Rinse salad tomatoes and add to nachos.
Cover nachos with mozzarella cheese, then sprinkle with blue cheese as the finishing touch.
Cook at 350 degrees until cheese begins to lightly brown around the edges - roughly 20 minutes.
Note: These ingredients aren't listed in specific quantities, because nachos are best made to taste - add as much of each item as you want!

I cooked up a tray of these nachos for my family tonight, and it was a big success! Everyone loved it – they thought the dish was really good, and quite different from what you usually think of when you make nachos, making it a simple recipe to prepare yet still unique. My family also noted that they really liked all the different flavors of chips.
