Well, being born and raised in Texas, I am always a little uncertain when I hear something like “vegetarian chili” or “veggie nachos.” It just doesn’t seem right. But…I’m always playing around with recipes, and made a what turned out to be a fantastic veggie and black bean chili the other day. So, why not make nachos! All I can say is…WOW!!! These are the real deal. Now, of course, the chili is super healthy, vegan, and all that…these nachos alter that a bit…but still, they are vegetarian, and just so dang good. You’re gonna love them! Make a batch of the chili, and then indulge a bit with these nachos. Delish!!
