    Electric Skillet Veggie Nachos

    Jump to Recipe

    These electric skillet veggie nachos make the cooking process easy by just layering the ingredients, putting on the lid, and letting them cook without heating the whole house on a hot summer day. Make them at home or take your skillet on your next camping trip to enjoy them anywhere.

    While nachos are great with meat (especially these carne asada nachos and bison brisket nachos), these vegetarian nachos have plenty of seasoning, fresh veggies, beans and cheese to keep you full and satisfied.

    Did you know that the original recipe for nachos is vegetarian? In 1943 in Piedras Negras, Mexico, when a maître d’ named Nacho created this dish for a group of women, he only used three ingredients: tortilla chips, shredded Wisconsin cheddar and sliced jalapeños.

    After that, whenever someone adds ingredients like meat, salsa or black beans, it is a “modern” version of nachos.

    In a way, this veggie nachos recipe is an homage to the original for its vegetarian ingredients and its use of the original ingredients: the tortilla chips, shredded cheddar cheese and jalapeños.

    Top Tip

    Nobody likes soggy leftover nachos, so use the electric skillet to reheat the nachos and they will come out warm and crispy. Just return them to the pan and into the skillet preheated at 350°F for about 10 minutes or until heated through.

    Serving Suggestions

    • These nachos would be great with this pub beer cheese dip.
    • If you are in the mood for a drink with your nachos, tequila-based drinks like this slushy margarita are a classic.
    • The mojito, another refreshing drink, can help cool your tastebuds with its use of mint. Here is a non-alcoholic mojito recipe.
    • As for beer, you may want to go with a blonde ale.
